The inside of my Shadow's tank was lined, but one of the previous owners didn't de-rust the tank first (or didn't do it well enough). The liner material flaked off, and got into the reserve tank and the fuel lines. Rather than try and clean it out, I found a NOS tank on EBay for about a hundo, liked it, and put the botched one on EBay. Got about $50, even the seller knew it was in bad condition on the inside. He said he had a way to get it back to original. More power to him. So, net cost to replace my tank: $50.
