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.

"I too have never laid on my back to perform that job"
I was recanting fuel-tank removal safety stories just for safety's sake. FWIW - the experience I explained above was with my 71 Karman-Ghia. You have to remove the fuel drain fitting from the bottom before you can lift the tank. There is even a maintenance hole if I remember correctly. Sorry to start a .... whatever that was.... I have only taken tanks out of 914s, never replaced them...... ;-) Stu |
