FS: Steel OEM early 100L tank

[kenikh]

SOLD

It is with a heavy heart I offer my 100 liter steel rally tank for sale. I have entered into a dilemma: my goal with my '69S has been have it done and ready in time for the RGruppe 10th Anniversary in May. It is a stretch, but doable.

Unfortunately, my eyes were bigger than my resources when I bought this 100L tank and just did the math…I figure there is no way I can get the car done and keep it. By selling the tank, I will have enough money to finish my motor, soup to nuts, as well as buy paint. You see where I am going with this? I can get to Treffen on my old gas tank, but I can't get there with no motor or paint.

Great tank, just a bad economy and not enough resources to make it all happen the way I'd like.

The tank has been inspected and lined - it is plug and play. All it needs is a little exterior cleanup and it will be perfect.

Asking $5300.

Is the tank dented on the bubble portion or is it just the picture ?

Thanks

[kenikh]

Yes, a small dent. Easily fixed by your local paintless dent repair shop or with a littlebit of body filler. I was going to go the "Ding Doctor" route...

Bottom line, this tank is a guaranteed to NOT be a rusty POS. This can't be said about a lot of tanks. I have seen a lot of extra money dropped on repairing rusty tanks which sold at the same price as this one.

Nice tank. Can you post photos of the bottom?

Does anyone know what model years this tank was available?

When did Porsche switch to plastic tanks?

Thanks,

[kenikh]

Yes; I am travelling so only had photos that were readily available on my photobucket. I will take pics when I get home and post. The bottom is solid, with some dings, but is very sound and looks as good as any other 40 year old tank I have seen.

Is there a working sending unit that comes with the tank ?

There is no sending unit, but alternatives apparently exist; a stock one will work in a pinch (although you will read empty earlier than actually empty).

I run a stock one, and just keep track of my mileage....

Eric, what years would this be correct for, thanks.
