Starting the restoration on my 75/76’ and I’m curious if I can use my 76’ gas tank on my 73’?? The 73’s got a bit of leak near the bottom of the tank and the wife refuses to let it sleep in the garage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

I have a new Dansk tank in the box. You are going to have to turn the mount on the top around to make evaporator work. Has to be cut off and re welded.

Might hold off now till I find something different. Went ahead and pulled the tank out of my 75’ today. It appears to be in very good shape so I’ll be putting it in my 73’ for the time being. Question on the fuel lines however, Fuel hoses are 8mm (return) and 9.5mm (supply) correct? I’m going to go ahead and replace the tunnel lines with stainless steel while I’m in there as well. I’d like to clean the tank before installing so what product do you all recommend? Thanks everyone. |
