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? |

My fuel tank developed a small leak and had rust at bottom portion from sitting for years. Used the Por 15 restoration kit (about $50) and it worked as advertised. If a used tank would have been available in my area, that would have been my choice.
BTW, I run a 400hp v8 and use the stock hose with electric pump in engine bay feeding a carb. No fuel starvation problems in the 16 months its been on road. John |
