After last post where I asked if I should pull the tank given all the new hoses I put in in the back, I am pretty surprised at how clean it is!!
But, I spot a few issues. Obviously fuel clamp is doing nothing. That line appears older/unreplaced. And, the line was crimped under the tank on that ridge. I could sort of tell that from above, but it’s worse. See anything else? |

I would replace those cloth/fiber or carpet pads under the gas tank with rubber ones that won't get waterlogged and cause the gas tank to rust out. In my experience, 914 gas tanks will develop pin hole leaks from where those cloth/fiber pads rest on the body or are glued to the gas tank itself. I have seen that happen on 3 gas tanks. The pin holes in the tank typically results in a strong gas fume smell in the car's passenger cabin whenever the gas tank is filled up, and lingers until the tank is half full or less. People spend hours trying to find the source of the gas smell and spend a lot of time replacing fuel hoses and the vapor canister system's parts, because they never see any actual liquid gas on the ground under the car.
