Great that you found an NOS tank, with all of the CRAP they are putting in
the Gas nowadays and who knows what in the future, I didn't want to worry
about having something flaking off and giving me problems down the road.
Glenn was great to work with the tank left one week and was back here in
about 10 days, just like he said it would.

Mike,

 

Thanks,  Hopefully that information will be helpful to Arch and perhaps
others.


I looked into using their services years ago for an old Mercedes I once had.
I heard that do good work.  However, I found a NOS gas tank for the old
Mercedes and went that way.

 

Thanks for jogging my memory I had forgotten about them.

Charlie, 

Here goes, Looper Service center, www.loopersc.com
<http://www.loopersc.com/>  Glenn Looper President.

 

The reason I sent the tank there is I had a clunking in the tank and I
scoped it and could not find anything, I finally decided to send it there,
he had to open up the tank and found that the outlet had a brace on it that
had broken loose, he repaired that and closed it up and sealed it inside and
out, you can't see where he opened the tank up. Like I said 'Not Cheap, but
it's Gasoline" all I could see is the tank full cruising down the road and
something going terribly wrong and having a car full of gas.

Arch,

 

You might want to get some opinions on tank sealers.  Some just make a huge
mess of things.  I know there are some good ones, I just haven't found
those.  You might check with Eastwood.  The key to a good seal is the inside
of the tank must be flawless.  Otherwise the stuff just peals off and makes
a mess.

Charlie & Wray, Thanks for reply.  I now know a bit more about what I am in
for.  Since the tank has to come out I might as well have it sealed even
though it is not leaking.  Arch

Arch,

 

It is possible to fix that pickup tube.  The tube should be soldiered or
brazed in place.  A creative radiator shop should be able to remove the tube
and then install a new tube. 

 

 Another option is to abandon that pickup and have a radiator shop install a
threaded bushing (a drain fitting from a radiator is exactly when you want)
in the top of the tank.  the position should be like the picture.  From
there you can attach a tube to a fitting.  Be sure to cut the bottom of the
tube at a 45 degree angle and also keep the tube at least 1/4 inch from the
bottom of the tank. If the tank has the screen filter be sure to position
the new draw tube so it mates up with the screen.  

 

While that tank is out it will be worth while to clean out any rust or
accumulated guck.

This is the way the parts book says the gas tank should be set up.  However,
my Magnette doesn't have the banjo nut on the top of the tank for gas line.
My tank has a rubber hose located approx 1 1/2 inches under the large rubber
filler tube for gas line that goes to the fuel pump.  This afternoon I
replaced the fuel pump ( which was a waste of time and energy).
Disconnecting the fuel line from tank should have spilled out a bit of gas.
Nothing.  Blowing into gas line I could hear air entering gas tank....
Filter not clogged ( if there is one).  So....  The pickup tube in the tank
must be loose/goofed up.  Has anyone replaced/ repaired this pickup?  Hate
to go in completely blind.  Arch
