Can someone explain the following problems and the recommended fix if there
is one
regarding the gas tank, trailing links and instrumentation?

The Bricklin came with many design flaws, from the doors, trailing links,
seals, a/c, gas tank, body, instrumentation, heat dissipation (engine and
passenger compartment), weight, the early 74 headlights, etc.., it is barely
driveable under OEM circumstances  unless you turn a blind eye, deaf ear,
and lose all your other senses as well.   Many consider it a plastic bubble
vehicle or garage queen, and stock, it generally is.   The car was plagued
not only with flawed and crude engineering, but subject to poor and
inconsistent parts quality and workmanship.   I recall looking at several
Bricks that the owners attested "it runs just fine" only to find my knuckles
white after the test drive concluded.  Ah, love is blind. . .
