OK, how 'bout this one (a little DIY required...)

http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=USPlastic& category%5Fname=34& product%5Fid=19330


The 10" height might be a problem as that doesn't include the cap.

Al, don't think that tank will fit in locker. Also that is pretty pricey. I think I paid around $20 for my 6 gallon. I would keep checking Internet or garage sales.
Randy, I have same tank, dates match. I have inspector 1-as if that makes a difference. Also my tank locker is same size as yours. So I can give a little elbow grease . I will do exchange as soon as my 3 gallon runs out. Thanks

The <b>dimensions are 11" wide and 20 3/4" long</b>. As you can see it has no gauge.

The <b>Attwood Marine 6-gallon tank</b> has the following dimensions:

<b>21" L x 11-1/2" W x 9-1/2" H</b>

Again, this is pretty darn close to what others reported here for the Tempo Valu6, so I'm wondering if it will work.

I've ordered an Attwood Marine 6-gallon tank (Attwood #8872-4) from HomeDepot.com ($20.59 + shipping & sales tax) of all places. I couldn't find this item in the usual locations (Defender.com, WestMarine.com, etc.).

The dimensions are 21"L x11-1/2"W x 9-1/2"H, which is pretty darn close to that of the Tempo Valu6, so I figured I'd give it a try.

I'll let everyone know if this works, and I'll post pictures.

<i>P.S. Is it possible for an administrator to combine all these 6-gallon fuel tank threads? I've posted to all three appropriate topics, but I hope I haven't made a mess of things.</i>
