914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Gas Tank Replacement

Posted by: 914Bryan Sep 11 2015, 05:31 PM

The time has come to replace the gas tank for my 74. Its bad, real bad. Is there a vendor or a member in the 914world that has a reproduction tank? Or a clean used one? Or a different/better tank?

Any ideas appreciated.

Go to the G&R. You'll find what you need in Riverside.

Post a WTB in the classified for one. You'll find a good one that you'll want to get blasted, boiled out, painted (or powdercoated) and sealed.

Once you find a good used tank, you can clean it and seal it yourself with a kit like this:

914 tanks are pretty easy to do in one day.

Just be sure that the sealer is ethanol resistant as today's fuels are usually laced with corn squeezings!

...........squeezing your corn is wrong?
