I just removed the gas tank on my '64 B. The sender was seeping, and
I suspect it might have some other rust damage. I was thinking of
replacing it with a repro tank (from angelheartpancho @ eBay, I
think) I bought a couple of years ago from a fellow club member. It
doesn't appear to be badly made, is substantially heavier than the
OEM tank and looks to be properly baffled. The only doubt I have is
about the fuel pickup.
Looking into the OEM tank, the pickup looks to have a fairly
sophisticated strainer supported by a sheet metal bracket. On the
repro, the pickup is a copper tube with a beveled end down, close to
the bottom of the tank, and that's it.
Am I looking for trouble if I install my repro tank (assuming I don't
get close to running it dry?) Do the Moss reproduction tanks
duplicate the OEM fuel pickup? Any advice would be appreciated.
