Title: Springs in fuel tank
Post by: Corey Bowcutt on December 06, 2023, 05:16:19 PM

I removed the fuel tank from my 64.5 project.  It looks very much like the original tank.  There were two springs shown below inside the tank.  Any thoughts on this?

Thank you,

Corey

Interesting.  I do remember the days of gas siphoning. I had a neighbor "friend" who siphoned the gas out of my car.
