Doh! OK, back to keeping my keyboard shut!

Is this a turbo tank? Dipstick starts off part # 930 XXX XXX....

Don't think I'm that lucky Doc, I know this tank has rust issues.

i ran across this trick setup on cl. it's not my favorite because my rear trunk is the "clean" one...

now i wish i'd bought the tank i saw for $50.

So sad

I'm using the PMS tank and have no problems. Got it about 12 years ago when there weren't many others to choose from. It has the later oil filter console for the later filter and the bigger inlet....

Do people with real /6's ever switch to a repro tank just to preserve the real one they've got or only replace it when it starts to rust/leak?

The stock tank is long and narrow. This is not a problem in most instances....
at autocross it can be. It gets to sloshing back & forth and oil gets caught up in the windage. I usually found approx 6-8 oz of oil in the catch tank after an event. If I didn't keep that tank drained I ended up with oil in the trunk....that happened twice & it's messy. Non-violent AXers shouldn't have a problem.

Don't know if this http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/pts/1546257917.html would help anyone or not.

nope 911 If I do a DYI tank mod/build I'll use an earlier with a console.

Has anybody ever looked into using a 964/993/996 tank in a 914?

In the 911s they mount in the Passenger fender ahead of the wheel and are plumbed in with hoses and pipes.
It seems the hoses and pipes could be fabricated to place it in the same local in a 914 but I'm not sure there would be room or if the mounting is feasible.
