I think about this often before shows too. Then think, "well it's just going to get dirty again on the trip down" and end up doing something else.

Now that's thinking with your dipstick, Eric!

Similar day! I pulled my old aftermarket gas tank. Then while it was clear, I replaced my steering coupler. Then replaced my fuel filter. Then installed the original VW tank I got a while back and cleaned up. The wasted about 2 hours messing with the 68 speedometer I got from Bob. I have two different 68 speedometers, two sending units, 5 different gas gauges, and three of the vibrator things, and can't get anything to work. What did you do to your volkswagen today? Icon_evil

I've been messing with this setup for about 8 months now. Today I officially gave up on it. What did you do to your volkswagen today? Icon_lol

I have more important things to do. Friday I have to change oil, points/timing and get the carb dialed in.

Here is my refurbished tank.

Looks good, wish mine looked that good! I put a handful of rocks in mine, and shook as much crap loose as I could

If you have to do it again, get a $2 bag of aquarium rocks. They work great!! Oh yeah, after the rock treatment you need to remove the screen/sock if not before. It will be damaged using this method, but never made sense to me to have one. Trap the trash in the tank or in a filter...I can change a filter easily!

by Grifspop Thu Mar 11, 2010 9:27 am

Yeah, I pulled the screen/ sock thing out, it was trashed!
