Yesterday morning I awoke to the smell of gasoline coming from my garage and discovered a small but constant gas drip that had turned into a decent size puddle under the front of my 914. The tunnel plastic lines were all previously replaced with SS, so I figured the tank or the hoses under it were the problem. After pulling the tank, I found a pinhole in the bottom - probably the beginning of the end for a 47 year old metal tank.
So, instead of repairing and cleaning out the old tank, I am looking into buying a new DANSK repro tank (<$200). Has anyone out there used these tanks? Appreciate any comments or thoughts about them?? Paul |

There are TWO (2) version of the Dansk, but sites like pelican don’t make that very clear. One for early cars, one for later models.

There are TWO (2) version of the Dansk, but sites like pelican don’t make that very clear. One for early cars, one for later models. Exactly. it would be nice to know what the differences are. If it is just the tabs to mount the later accessories, that would be great. However, if there are actual shape differences, that would suck. I want to retrofit my early car with late evap parts, including a working charcoal canister up front. If the '73+ tank does not fit my '70 body, i'll be pissed. Equally, if the '73+ tank fits but doesn't have all the needed tabs and doodads, i'll be pissed too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |
