EP 15: Gas Tank Repair / 1967 VW Type 3 Squareback

After getting left on the side of the road, I discovered a few pin holes under the gas tank that was slowly draining all of my fuel. My brother helped me weld them shut, then I restored the exterior of the gas tank with a fresh coat of paint/primer before re-installing it and going for a ride.

Another solid video. That square is getting better each episode 👍

Nice job. Welding and grinding on any gas tank is dangerous. You should have mentioned this plus had a fire extinguisher handy.

You’re right, bud! I should have.

Great 👍

You will get vapor lock with all of those filters. I know because it happened to me.

Interesting. Would a fix be to just upgrade to an electronic fuel pump?

[@jimgerock9190]

Vapor lock is caused by high temperature, not by fuel filters. Keeping all fuel filters out of the engine compartment is a good start.
