Title: Where to buy petrol tank? ? ?
Post by: gtthumper on March 21, 2011, 06:04:02 PM

Hello, after trying some fab advice from you folks I have come to the conclusion I need a new tank.

Fuel filter filling up with poop so quickly, and the car is not reliable at all!

So I have tried Europcarparts, ebay ricambi fiat ( but I think I got the wrong one as they only do 500s -I know there's a similar company out there).

I have 1981 126 aircooled.

Any suggestions welcomed!

Hannah

 I`m having the same problems with one of the cars. Don't matter how many filters I put in, or how many times I clean the carb, the main jet keeps blocking up. The car runs fine for a minute and than just running rough. Filter is alway full of s...
 So I thought I take the fuel tank of the bis I got for spares and see if it`s any better. A late model, and very solid underneath. Took the tank out and what a pile of rubbish. Outside is all rusty, which would not be a problem, but inside full of rubbish and started rusting, so not much help.
 Anyway, what I want to say don`t bother with a second hand tank. It`s not worth doing the job twice.
 Have you found out how much postage is from Germany? I noticed the 126Fan Sk guys do it as well, for similar price.
 Only thing I don`t get how all the rubbish gets past the really fine filter in the tank.
 Rant over... :oops:

this might hold the key if the tank is solid-
