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? |

I would like to see that AN conversion if someone does it. I currently have -6 hard lines to the back 90 elbows then steel braided flex lines to the F/I. I just have rubber pushed on the hard lines at the front. The pump is mounted by the big access hole on the outside with a filter in the tank area. Due to the barbed fittings on the pump I haven't decided how to run everything. It is currently all rubber hoses. I would like to go AN up front as well. I have welded used motorcycle tanks I used an inert gas filling it to avoid blowing up. I am not sure about this though as I have coated the tank already.
