Some thoughts on the Cleveland Indians - Guardians name change Installing the Sending unit before gas tank installation Sneak peak around the garage on other projects
Hey Mark, Just came across your video. Just want to thank you, it cleared up some questions I had. Is your tank galvanized or stainless and does it make a difference which way you go? Thanks
That’s a great question, if memory serves me this particular tank had a galvanized paint on it. I would have rather had a steel tank with a clear coat on it.
1968 - 1972 Chevelle tanks are basically the same. I have done a number of videos on gas tanks - Here is one that goes a little further into it on a 1972 Malibu. ruclips.net/video/nXEj1jOfn5U/видео.html
I purchased a Dorman Fuel Tank and Sending Unit with fuel line return. It really looks like the one in your video. Only this tank sells for $230 and the sending unit sells for $49 at AutoZone. My fuel lines coming out of the sending unit point slightly (about 15 degrees) toward the passenger side of the car. I am wondering if this is correct. I just don't know if these pipes coming off my Dorman unit are correct and point in the correct direction. When I go to connect the rubber hoses to them it makes a tight bend. Do you have a photo of the tank and installed sending unit before you put it in the car. My tank is out of a 71 Olds 442, but I think they should be the same. I can send you a photo of my tank if you would like. Many Thanks.
As I mentioned this tank was purchased from Ausley's Chevelles through E-bay, The cost was $169. Comes with sending unit and seal. As far as capacity, All I can tell you is that was a direct replacement from the original gas tank. Same size, same vent tubes. You will need to do your own research on capacities. The Team Chevelle forum is a great place to do your research. www.chevelles.com
Thank you so much for this video. Bending that tap on the ring saved me so much trouble!!! 👍🏼

Do you have a second video on this? Is a 68 and a 69 the same?

It does go a bit towards the passenger side - but I will let you be the judge on how much. photos.app.goo.gl/2gozfGng9YYGZjJZ6
Is that a 135.00 ebay 17 gal tank ? My 68 has a 20 gallon tank. What's with the different capacities. ???
