    I have a steel P-38 fuel tank, has some dents but overall the nose and tail are in great shape. I want to sell but search results have found no clue to what is worth. Can anyone shead some light on what I should ask for it?
    Thanks.
     
  2. It is probably worth what you want for it. Hang a price on it that you feel is reasonable and let the buyer decide if he/she wants to give that much for it.

    If I really wanted one I still wouldn't want to drop more than a grand on it. I have seen them with a 1500 price tag on them but I still wouldn't want to drop more than a grand on one myself and if it was in the 500-700 range I would consider myself blessed.

    Didn't answer your question did I. Well maybe I did.

    I've had two of them, first one was free, second one I paid $85.00 for.

    There is a huge price difference between non P-38 tanks, the small p-38 tanks, and the rare large 305 gallon aluminum tanks.
    It is like comparing apples to peas.

    I have 2 of the large aluminum P38 tanks for sale on the Hamb Classifieds.
    I have sold 2 other similar tanks not too long ago ( after the market crash ), and got what I was asking.
    Will probably go as a pair to an old Warbird, because
    Finding a matching set /2 is even way more rare then
    Finding 1. And the planes need 2.
