Is yours a non-efi or is it damaged? I think you can adapt a non-efi to make it an efi. If you do need a replacement, keep in mind the truck tanks are different than the 4Runner tanks.

I have a few, but $20 is a great price for one especially if it still has all the internals and isn't full of rust. I would jump on that one if it's good.

Dang its not to great...old gas and I think it had moistur in it. Were gona take a chance and nn pick it up. I don't think it Won't have any good internal but it will be fun to learn off it. Gona power wash it 4000psi and if it don't clean up I have a high power acid used for cooling systems Ill try with it.

I washed a couple Bronco tanks with 3000 psi/200* water. Cleaned all that goo & rust right out. Hot water does make a difference.

Naval Jelly works great for removing rust ( I have used it on motorcycle tanks) http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41JeOOLlAcL._SY300_.jpg

Is that the stuff you find at the bottom of your belly button? :P

A light solution of Muriatic Acid or Phosphoric acid do a great job if you are careful too. The Naval Jelly is goopy, and you have to wipe it on. With liquid acid, you just put it in and carefully swish it around. If its only a little bit, even just using Vinegar will take it off too. Redneckify it and use a couple 2 liters of Coke even.
