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? |

$75 to take your tank to a radiator shop and get it boiled and coated.
Do that. Splurge on a can of rustoleum satin-black to repaint the outside. Replace the copper screen while you're in there. Oh, and re-tap the holes for the expansion tank. Personal comment: When I took my tank out, I got a full tea-cup size mound of rust powder out of it. Your's is probably that bad, but not worse. G. |
