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 |
