Tomarrow ill be dropping my gas tank to clean it out. Is there anything i should be carefull for when lowering it? Im scared of snapping the filler neck, and not finding a replacement, or messing up the vents.
You shouldn't hurt anything if you get all the lines unhooked at top and back of tank.. If the worse happens or you want a new grommet for filler pipe type in Google "vans auto.com" you can get the new grommet for filler pipe and seal for sending unit from them. There is a small bracket on your filler pipe to unhook, under license plate, Im assuming its a 71-74 maybe not. Good luck with it though.
So I got the tank dropped. I took out the float fuel sucker thingy, and all i can say is that thing looks like what youd find at the bottom of the sea! Lol so my guess was right now to get a new tank, and im glad i wasint stupid and put a new fuel filter on when i changed the carb. I cant stop laughing at how bad it is.
Sounds like its pretty bad, Rusted that bad or full of everything one could imagine? Anyway i think i paid around 245 bucks for a tank for my 73 from Van's, 50 for the 3/8 sending unit (upgraded from 5/16).. Should give you a idea of about how much you may have in one.. good luck..
