Later ones have a whit (ish) pickup screened on the bottom that floats in the center there where yours has that little sump. I've never opened up an early one like that Rob, actually in some ways a bit better if the gas finds it way into the little baffled sump area there... Nice pics, I take it was rusted down in the sump area?

Here is the tank from my '84 http://s197.photobucket.com/albums/aa190/becida/84%20Fuel%20tank/ . I did later take the plate off to inspect the tubes, just tubes. A photo would be great! |
