Re: Replacing gas tank
Well I gave up trying to empty the tank without pulling it. I tried every 12V pump I had and I just couldn't get any gas to come out of the tank. finally pulled the tank, not that bad, just had to unbolt the seat and slide it forward out of the way.
Emptied all the nice brown vanish/gas out of it, pulled the float feed assy and what a mess. Really crusty with all sorts of build up on it, pick up tube was blocked big time.
Took the gas tank to my local radiator shop, they figure about 2 bills to clean her up. New tank is around $220 delivered, so I guess my question is, how well do they fit, how well made and what has been the experience any of you who had replaced their tank.
I am torn keeping an original heavy duty construction vs a new off shore light weight copy.
