    Disaster - Major Fuel Tank Issue

    Hey KD, it looks like this. I used one of the high tubes for venting and the low one as a return if fuel makes it that far when it expands. I have the same tube in my trunk. The tube that goes up front ends up at the valve cover breather which stores any fumes in the crankcase. Hope that helps.

    Disaster - Major Fuel Tank Issue

    I installed the tank into the car. Before doing all of this, I cleaned up the straps and original hardware. I reused the original tank mat as it was in near new condition. 54 years old and in amazing shape. Once the tank was nice and snug, I connected the rubber fuel lines to the hard...

    Disaster - Major Fuel Tank Issue

    Update; So I finally received my tank and sending unit from Tanks Inc. I want to say a big thank you to @HALIFAXHOPS for sending my stuff over to Germany and @1 Wild R/T for putting me onto this method in the first place. Two great forum members. I unwrapped this beauty and started work...

    Fuel tank venting issues.

    From the factory service manual. You will see that you need to plug the other three to stop gas sloshing out. Your setup is not ideal, but for now, so long as yoy have a vent on one, you should be ok. The system is designed so the tank can vent no matter what angle the car is at. One of the...

    Disaster - Major Fuel Tank Issue

    In preparation for my new tank, I removed the old one with a crack in it. Its such a shame as the original tank is in amazingly good condition. Oh well, its done 54 years, that's probably enough. First I cut the old hoses off near the tank. This is an ECS car, so has the 4 nipples on the side...

    Disaster - Major Fuel Tank Issue

    New tank is on order. As soon as it comes in I will document the changeover in this thread. Decided to go with the Tanks Inc tank and sender as suggested by @1 Wild R/T I tried to find stock components to go back in but its very difficult to get them. Spectra have discontinued...

    Disaster - Major Fuel Tank Issue

    I would look at running one of those tanks with the sender, but Tanks Inc don't do a tank for ECS with 4 vents. If I was to convert to non ECS, what would I need to do to make it work?

    Disaster - Major Fuel Tank Issue

    I will be dropping the tank today to fully inspect. I can clearly see a tear in the metal where the lock ring locks into. I am sure a new tank is in order. That will mean new hoses, clamps, sending unit, gas tank pad. It sure adds up, but it will be done properly. I will report back when I have...

    Disaster - Major Fuel Tank Issue

    Today was a bit of a disastrous day for me. Yesterday, I pulled the fuel sending unit and discovered that is was a junk Chinese one that had replace the factory original. I tested it and realized it was a hopeless cause as the readings were vastly different than what they should be. I looked at...
