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(F4i @ Jan 2 2004, 03:17 PM) Due to the barbed fittings on the pump I haven't decided how to run everything. if you don't have a sanctioning body that requires all threaded fittings, what i'd do - especially on supply lines that see only gravity head and no significant pressure - is use a high-quality hose clamp - probably one of the Earl's (or equivalent) with the nice hose-end-looking shroud - and call it good. it will be. especially since modern, oxygenate-bearing fuels do nitrile liners no great good, and you'll need to be thinking about replacing them every few years. (this sucks but it comes with the territory.) |
