Call the yards before you go, might save a trip.

They don't want cars in the yard with fuel still in them. Many if not most of them don't bother trying to drain tanks in any sort of proper way, they just punch a hole in the bottom and drain the left over gas that way.

Around here I think something like 3 or 4 of the 5 pick-n-pull style yards puncture them. A little tidbit we discovered when my wife bent the bottom of her tank and needed to replace it.

BTW, we have Lil Skip's tank skids on both our 3RD gens, very happy with them.

I went to a Toyota parts recycle yard where they have already stripped all the salable parts off and have readily available. The guy there said he has never sold so many gas tanks before. Said most are coming in to replace their tanks that have holes drilled in them by gas thieves.
