I just realizes that there are a number of sources for new gas tanks. Does anyone have experience with different tanks or are they all manufactured by the same source? Are they all the same? I also would like to know specifically what the difference is between the early (70-74) and the later tank design.
Thanks |

A complementary question to 914racer, what are community thoughts on preemptively sealing a new tank? I’ve been looking at the caswell kit as it seems to be the most highly regarded epoxy formula for petrol amd ethanol resistance.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Don’t wreck a new tank with aftermarket (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) sealer. That crap eventually delaminates and then you end up with a clogged fuel system. An unsealed tank will outlive you. @“van b” As with all paint - prep is paramount. How are you going to guarantee that you get every last bit of stamping die lube out of the weld seam. Too many things to go wrong inside a tank you can’t see. Besides that - there are very few paints or epoxies that survive well long term when immersed in fuel. Many stock tanks are still in great shape 50 years later. Keep the tank full when in long term storage and you won’t have problems. |
