Can you ship fuel tanks Fedex ground? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I tried the obvious solution and went to the website. I couldn't find anything dealing with what can or can't be shipped. I tried the next obvious solution and sent an email with the same question. The response said I should check the website.

Does anyone know? Can you ship fuel tanks by Fedex ground?

id say yes as long as they have never used gas in it yet. cause then its just a empty metal container

i shipped them UPS ground. What i did with a used one is this i popped out the float. I then had the tank boiled out in a radiator shop tank making it totally clean in and out. i wrapped it in bubble wrap and then cardboard and shipped the float assembly in a seperate box and although it was a gas tank i was able to claim that it was a clean metal tank and omit the word gas it worked

I just recieved a used fuel cell by UPS. Was sealed and boxed. Still smell like race fuel.
