Default OEM Plastic gas tanks??

So my gas tank has hella rust in it. It clogs my aftermarket (40 micron) fuel filter within half a tank or so of gas. I know there are gas tank liner products out there, and I could always go fuel cell, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a plastic oem style tank?

There are companies that offer them, but I have never seen them for stock Honda fitment. It would prob have to be a custom job. ebay should have some stuff.

I've wondered that myself. i've heard that they're plastic, not aluminum.

Not sure, that's why i stepped into this thread to see if anyone else knew

Thanks for the heads up, ciblola. I was just in Pheonix a week ago, WAY to hot for this midwestern I found a brand new tank on ebay for 120 shipped, I think thats what I will do. Ive herd that the tank liners are a major PITA to apply.
