  View original topic: ID this fuel tank? (Brasilia)

I have a 1975 Brasilia and cannot seem to find a matching tank to replace this one. I bought a Type 1 but it's too deep. Also note the positions of the inlets and vent pipes.

What did this fuel tank come from?

Hello !

This is not the VW Brasilia fuel tank, this is for VW Variant and TL. It is slighty different from the Brazilian version.

VW Brasilia has 2 different fuel tanks: one until 1977 and the other for 1978 to 1981. Which year is yours ?

It's a 1975.
I'll post some pictures soon, I just got it. The tank I took out is a real mess!

This is correct tank for 1975 Brasilia.
Is very simillar but not the same you have.

That wouldn't work on mine because the inlet/fuel tank door is on the other side of the car.
