Default Looking for a vapor separator tank (VST)

Anyone got a used VST laying around? I'm looking for one in any condition, no pump needed, cheap. I'm going to be modifying it for use in a car, so I dont want to spend a lot.

I'm looking for the Merc 454/502 EFI one. It looks easier to modify for my use than the outboard ones.

I think they only used them a few years and I think a lot were replaced by the cheaper, simpler cool fuel system.

I think I've still got one I removed working well to put a procharger on 96 502 MAg. If you still need one. 70 plus shipping. Eric

Does it still have a float/valve and pump in it? The pump doesn't have to work, I just want to see how it's mounted.

It was just unconnected, I'll take a photo if that's all you need. What do you want a photo of?

I need an actual tank. I just wanted to see how merc mounted the pump inside before I started hacking, I mean "modifying" it.
You got a paypal account?
