Fuel Tank Repairs

Post by mu-stu »

The evaporation pipe on my fuel tank has come adrift which allows petrol to leak from the tank when I'm driving. Does anyone know where I can get the tank repaired in Brisbane and a guestimate of cost? If it's going to be big, would I be better off getting another tank?
Cheers

You will have to remove it to repair it so may as well just find a replacement.

Yeah, I took the tank off on Saturday to fit a long range tank I bought on Ebay to then realise the bloody thing doesn't fit because the front fixture is two holes while mine is 3. :x I think it's meant for an EFI vehicle as it has an inboard pumps, etc. (I may be corrected here) so since the tank's now off I can take it somewhere to get fixed. I can't be bothered stuffing around with in-line pumps, etc to put the long range tank on. My mech skills aren't that competent.

Anybody want a long range tank? 125/140ltrs (something around that!). It apparently doesn't fit Air Suspension classics and it doesn't seem to fit early model ones either, so someone with an EFI setup between those years, we could do a deal! ;)
