So after rust repairs, complete brake overhaul, new diff, thermostat, crossmember, steering rack, lower suspension links and mucking on with the injection system; my car decides to reward me with a hole in the tank. Fantastic
I've had the car a year and done about 300 miles in it
That's enough ranting, anyone got a spare 2.8 tank?
Thanks

Re: 2.8i Petrol tank
Hi,
The Capri Club are soon going to introduce a line of new repro fuel tanks. No word on price yet though.

I have couple of tanks in Surrey, collection only.
1 is 2.8i vgc, 1 is 2.8i rusty inside.
I also have a vgc pinto one.
Might be sold already, but nothing concrete yet, so if interested, let me know....

Re: 2.8i Petrol tank
How big is the hole? I've heard you can fix a small leak by using Plastic Padding Chemical Metal.

Re: 2.8i Petrol tank
Surrey is a bit far, I'm in Edinburgh
I've not seen exactly how big the hole is, but it made a mess pretty quickly when I filled the tank. Might be best to leave it until the new tanks are available.
Thanks for the help

I brimmed my 280 tank years ago and quite a bit overspilled from the tank
