Fuel Tank

[katkin77]

Just filled up our recently purchased 1982 camper and fuel started leaking all over the forecourt...brilliant

Took to a local garage who discovered the top of the fuel tank had rusted through.
The tank has a larger filler neck (68mm vs regular 48mm)

Anyone know of any good suppliers to contact?

Also wondered whether we could just fit a fuel tank with a 48mm filler neck with a replacement 48mm filler pipe or would that just create issues elsewhere?

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

cheers

Get one from brickwerks, Might be a couple of quid more but there good quality, thats where mine came from.
I got a filler neck here (48mm) if you can't find one(bought it off ebay but didn't need it). Needs the big seal where it pushes into the tank.

I had the same problem when i bought my van. Got one from brickwerks and it fitted perfectly! mine was a 68mm filler neck too, so no need to fit a new neck. Just make sure you give it some good protection on top to stop the dreaded rot!!!!

Found one at VW heritage in the end. Should be up and running next week fingers crossed.
