Empi gas tanks, need identification.

[yankee1919]

Hello All,

I decided to replace the fuel tank but would like to identify the types of tanks I have.

Remember,

Pan is a 57

Body around 62 or 63.

Is it even a vw tank?

Thanks.

Looks like 61-67...

Thanks Dale, I will look it up.
I am in Bakersfield now, do you ever drive this way?

Thank you for the link. The gas tank looks very similar but the ribs go across the top all the way. There isn't a shallow area. I wonder if these tanks are from an earlier model or not vw at all?

The aftermarket tanks don't look like originals. Yours looks like an original. This is from a 1966.

Thanks Q-dog,

I remember the original owner had a mid sixties bug that he used for parts. The Empi does have a 6v transaxle that was converted to 12v at some point.

Thanks again.
