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) It seems that the 3/8" hard line (and an AN-6 fitting) should work for up to about 400HP, but I assume it will handle more HP with a high pressure fuel injection pump mounted by the tank. think about it. the pump can't deliver any more fuel than it can get, and there's a limit to how fast you can suck a fluid through a hole. but i agree AN-8 is more than adequate; if you have more than 400HP in your future you have so much fabrication work ahead of you that changing an AN-6 fitting to AN-8 will seem like child's play... if it's really likely, make your fitting AN-8 now and run an 8->6 adapter. 15 grams won't slow you down that much ... |
