Actually, that crease in top of the tank is a left over feature from the air cooled days. It was there for the heater duct.

Since I have an AT with worse mileage, shouldnt I be entitiled to a gas tank w/o the shifter linkage crease in the top? Im sure thats a gallon or 2 lost volume right there. How does the synchro tank fit 18 gallons? Does this have something to do with the right rear fill port I have seen? I would really prefer not to give up the spare for the 6 gallon SS donut tank up front. Robert 90 MV |
