yeah again... fuel tank question...
« on: May 23, 2009, 09:00:14 PM »
i'm having trouble identifying my fuel tank's capacity...

so here's what I know about it: it's been changed once before in 2004 i think?(used.. PO...)
my fuel gage has 55L written and a dot a bit after it (and when I fill up It gets to that dot)

no transfer pump, as there is a hard line that connects both 1/2 of the tank.
both 1/2 seems about the same size, but the left cheek is about 1" shorter

and here are 2 pics from the top of it...

I'd like to point out that there's no visible opening at the top for the left side...







thanks for any input!!!

thanks for the idea, but it's more for a replacement issue... that tank is pretty much done (or needs serious expensive repairs).
