I would not recommend using a used fuel tank. These things can be repaired and sealed, of course, but I wouldn't use one. When it's time for fuel tank replacement, I recommend getting a new one. Fuel tanks are an important safety item and it's just not worth compromising safety.

The fuel tanks available on the market today are of very high quality---equal to or better than the originals. Keep in mind that fuel tanks are an item with very high product liability consequences. Even if a manufacturer wanted to "cut corners", I doubt that their product liability insurer would allow it.

I think that most of the Corvette fuel tanks on the market today are made by Superior Industries. I'm not certain of this, but I think so. These folks are a very large manufacturer of fuel tanks for both the OEM and aftermarket. I would have absolute confidence in their products. They are a manufacturer only and do not sell to the public, but many places carry their product.
