240 fuel tank choices 200 1980

Our 1980 project 244 needs a new fuel tank. It's severely rusted inside. I know of restoral practices but they are tedious and time consuming.

We see Spectra and Dorman tanks in stock from RockAuto. We have had good results with Spectra in Ford pickups. Dorman's reputation has slipped due to inferior chinese parts. The Spectra costs 25% more.

We see "genuine Volvo" tanks from IPD, but I doubt that Geely makes their own. Best bet is they are made by another chinese company, then Volvo labeled. These tanks sell for more than double.

Which do you recommend based on your experience?
