1970 emissions fuel tank
I bought this tank and was removing the old hoses and the vent tube broke at the solder joint I think. Is this an easy repair or did I ruin the tank? I put it back in the hole and it's tight doesn't move. I didn't realize it's so fragile.

I would think a radiator repair shop could fix you right up, provided there's one still around.

If its just a normal solder joint you should be able to re-sweat the solder in the joint like home water pipes using MAP gas. I had a leaky trans cooler fitting on a factory radiator I did that to and it sealed up fine and was leak free for 15+ years until I sold the car still leak free.

Soldering or brazing it back on should be pretty easy.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
