Hey guys its been a while since ive been on here. I havnt had a whole lot of motivation to work on my 72 914 . I'm wanting to remove the gas tank here soon and know how to do it. However im just curious of the various different ways much smarter members have to removing the tank. Plus im not trying to make a mess. Tank should be empty but is too rusted to be saved.

One hint that I learned by experience: DO NOT use an incandescent work light with no bulb guard under a car when removing the gas tank.
I removed a tank that I SWORE was empty in the dark. After it covered me and all my tools in gas while under the car, I looked over and saw gas dripping right on the worklight. If it had popped, I would have been a human torch under the car. Another good one - when the battery is in a race car right next to the fuel cell, disconnect the battery charger before topping off with race fuel. Dumping race fuel into a running battery charger = "not a good idea".... The "Hibachi incident" is yet another story..... Stu |
