Good afternoon.
I have a new Dansk gas tank (installed) for the pumpkin (1970 4 cyc). Got it installed and plumbed, ready to put evap chamber (I think that what it is called, goes around filler neck.) The damn thing won't fit. Seems brackets on tank are not right! I have attached a couple of pic. Any thoughts or ideas about what to do to get it installed? Thanks  |

Others may know more but I recall something about the flange height being taller than the original

I have read that some where on this forum.
My question is I guess is how the heck to fix it. I am not a metal fabricator or welder. I do have a friend that can help me just need to know what to do to it. Thanks |

I didn't take that into consideration as I 86'd the xTank with the Subaru conversion. |

I have had to bend the brackets on every Dansk tank in have installed. One member had one with the filler hole off by a half inch. Loosen or remove the other enpsnsoin tank bolt. I stall a bolt on tbe end closest to the hold down strap. Try to bend it down amto align the other hole. |
