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? |

>8 gal plastic drag cell with foam
Fab works no big deal. I'd do it myself. I don't even see why you'd have to lose the fuel guage. The cell in my 510 has one. The problem is I don't want to lose capacity. Now, that I think about, since I've got a V8 and don't have a front trunk due to the radiator, maybe I should try to fit a cell in the combined front trunk (what's left after still allowing airflow for the radiator) / gas tank area. Of course I would have to reinforce the strut towers but that shouldn't be too tough. Jonathan |
