Another newbie question. Just bought a 73 2.0 and took it to a local Porsche mechanic to check. All is well, but he says I need a new fuel tank, as it's full of rust. Enough to clog injectors, so mus tdo something. Porsche doesn't make them any more, but he knew of a place that 'rebuilds' them @ about $400.
Ouch! Ideas? |

QUOTE(jridder @ Dec 31 2003, 03:02 PM) >$75 to take your tank to a radiator shop and get it boiled and coated. Where? I called about 5 places in the San Jose area and the price ranged from $125 to $145. My tank is a little rusty but doesn't look too bad so I was just going to get it boiled and coated instead of replacing it. Jonathan The $75 place is a radiator shop in San Mateo. Off of 3rd Avenue on the east side of 101. The price may have gone up now that there's even more crud in "our" gas... G. |
