Check and/or clean your tank vents!

[ROLLGUY]

A guy got in touch with me the other day that had his car at a radiator shop to get his tank pulled and expanded. Evidently the vent lines were plugged, and the fuel tank shrunk so much, it would only hold about 12 gallons. The rad shop guy told him it would cost about $400 for a new tank plus labor. He called me and had his car towed to me. The car is a 1985 300D (former CA emissions) with Federal manifolds and air cleaner installed. The car is ALL ORIGINAL and near perfect, including a blue crack free dash!



I removed a tank from one of my parts cars and installed it. Here are a couple photos of the old tank:





I don't know how this was possible, but now I have seen it with my own eyes. Check/clean those tank vent tubes!


Edit: No he did not run over the tank with a car!
