    good deal! I read somewhere that the inside of these tanks is often coated with something that may gum up the carburetor - so it needs to be flushed.

    Just redid my 68 original tank. Yours and the new don’t have the one year metal vent pipe near the spare. The small one must be replacement for the vent that is on the tee at the filler and routes up and around the dash the out to atmosphere at the front of the tank. It will be a much cleaner install.

    My Super Beetle came with a new tank from a previous owner. The trouble is they butchered all the evaporative emissions lines. I'd like to actually have that working, the canister is still present, but I can't find any routing diagrams. Also the EGR valve is present, and the vacuum line was connected to the carburetor, but the EGR valve was not connected, so it will as just a big vacuum leak when the valve opened. I have the signal line plugged, but I want to find the EGR parts, as I'm trying to restore the car to EXACTLY as it left the factory in 1974.
