Can anybody tell me where I can get a pressure tank and hose for this motor? I am dying to see if it will run

Thanks

Ebay or craigslist.

Several sources...

An ad at AOMCI.org on their free Webvertiser service.

Poking around your local marinas - particularly if they're the well-established type that have been around for a few generations. Showing up at coffee time with a box of good donuts may help get you into the back rooms, attics, and sheds where that sort of thing might be tucked away. You want to talk to the guys who swing the wrenches, not the guy with the starched shirt at the front desk.

They turn up on eBay, too. Prices are all over the map there - anywhere from $30 to $100...

Watch your regional Craigslists, too. I've seen several recently...

I have one of these tank's, but how do you ship one? I would think the haz-mat charge would be out of sight.

You can always elevate a regular tank to barrel test using gravity feed :)

I've shipped tanks several times. Clean them out properly with soap & water and let them dry thoroughly.

Chinewalker: Do you tell the carrier service what's in the carton?
