Whhat gas tanks can I use?

I recently bought a 1981 CB750 Custom. The tank that came with the bike was in really bad shape. I bought a tank I thought was good, however when I got it home and cleaned it out with a pressure washer about 20 holes come through the bottom. What other tank options could I use? I am having a really hard time finding a tank. Thank for any help you give.

big holes?like cancer?or lil tiny pin holes?if it just has pin holes you might be able to get aways with a tank sealer.

The holes are pretty good size. The place I bought the tank from is welding them up and putting a Kreem liner kit in it. I do paint and body work so hopefully I can pretty it up some.

Keep a CLOSE eye on the kreem liner. I have seen bad things with it. Nothing engine killing as long as you have a filter, but the liner peels off easy if not applied to a perfectly clean and dry tank. A por-15 kit works better, imho.

Por-15 is a tank sealer.
