Looks like I need a new tank. Mine leaks around where the neck connects to the tank. The muffler shop was a little concerned about breaking out the torch..so was I especially after filling it up w/premium. I noticed I can get tanks from ebay and PY, YR1, Ames etc all very close ($200). Most mention vents. How many do I have and where do I find'em?

Rich,

I just finished this on my '70. The new tank fit well and looks good. On a car without EES there are 2 connections at the sending unit, one vent at the upper pass side and one at the filler neck. The 2 at the sending unit are your fuel and return lines, the one on the pass side is a 1/2" vent. The factory led about 8" of 1/2" hose from this vent with a small piece of sponge stapled into the hose at the outboard end. The vent up near the filler runs to a small piece of hard line which is fastened to the body. This is done with a grommet into the trunk just above the filler. The hard line runs up into the trunk through the grommet and then back out through the same grommet to the atmosphere. There is a small line clip securing the hard line to the trunk latch with a small self tapping screw.

Hope that all helps.

I needed a new tank for my 69. Iwas refered to this place http://www.classiccarautoparts.com/pont_gastanks.html by another member. If I remember correctly, there are two manufactureres of these tanks, one in Asia and one in Canada. The Canadian tank is made of thickner metal than the Asian one (big suprise there). This place sells the Canadian one. This place was also cheaper than anyone else. The price our host charges is close but the shipping costs were almost double. (Sorry Chris). Anyway I bought mine last year and was pleased with the fit and finish.

Thanks..where did you get the tank and what did it cost ya? I'm considering just repairing the leak. Its around the neck where it connect to the tank. I doesn't drip but on a full tank it gets wet in that area....

Rich,

I got the tank at my local rad shop for $400.00 CAD (=$300.00 US about) Definitely get the one made here, no comparison with the Chinese stuff.

I ordered mine from their website. $168 plus shipping. I think it was about $40 to ship to Cincinnati.
