Trying to help out a friend that just bought a 69 fastback. His fuel tank has a crack in it. Do the later 70+ tanks fit or should I just be looking for a 68/69 tank?
Also if anyone has a good used one they would sell near Portland Oregon, please let me know. |

| '68 is for the most part a one year only tank. Anything from '69 and later should work just fine. |

| Thanks. Will probably just buy one from ISP and have it shipped. |

Filler hole is oval instead of round. |

yep, it's the same with Beetles, I guess they realized soon enough that a round hole was cheaper to manufacture :lol: |

Don't forget Mike from Eugene.
