Good day. I have owned this thing since the early 2000's, got it running and insured just after my first son was born, then had to park it. I was able to work on it a bit: I managed to replace the floor pans and removed the dash pad and filled the holes. Then put the whole car on pause. Until recently.

So, this Christmas, I got a new gas tank from my family.

The old one was seeping from a few places.
And with a break in the weather, my oldest son and I were able to remove the old one.

Baby steps, I keep telling myself.

Next step: filler tube and hoses...and brake upgrade (see bucket-o-brakes)

Save and reuse the OEM fuel sender lock ring.

The repro is thin and garbage.

I have two: one came with the tank and one came with the sender, but I will pull out my original if that's the case. Thanks for the advice!
 
IDK why, but all the MFG seem to have the same problem.

IMO it would be easier to not include one.
That would force people to save the old one rather than assume the new one is OK.

Is there a secret to installing the lock ring? I tapped it with a light hammer until it tightened but I found it would shift around a bit...
 
New one or OEM one?

The problem with the new one is it's too thin and doesn't put enough pressure on the gasket.

That causes the shifting, and eventually will allow the whole thing to move enough to cause a leak.
 
While I'm at it...

The gasket that came with mine didn't last 1.5 years.

This was the "quality" Canada made tank everyone recommends.

I ended up using a red, toilet tank washer. MUCH better quality.

It's been in there for almost 6 years.

Just looking up "red toilet tank washer" and I keep seeing something that is 1/2 inch thick with beveled ends...

Or is this the one?

Also, how does it hold up to gasoline?
 
No, the flat one.

It's been in there several years.

I've posted before so a search could date it, but several years, not 1.5 like the crap that came with the tank.

Cool thanks, I'll give it a search.

I think it's this one.

The conical one posted above goes between the valve in the tank and the main toilet body.

The flat one goes between the valve and the bottom of the tank.
 
Found my pics.
