I just pulled the fuel tank out of my '72 to clean and seal it and it's the nastiest disaster that I've ever seen! There must have been a full tank of gas when this thing was parked 25 years ago and I don't think there is any hope for it. Tanks might be a p.i.t.a. to ship, so if you have one for sale and have room to bring it to Oregon 09, (or better yet driving thru Eureka CA on the way), please let me know. I need a sending unit also. thanks.
Yo Trey!
I'll check with Alvon when he's done having a blast at Dixie Fiat Fest. I know he's got a parts car, and it may have a tank. If he's got it, I can bring it with me.

I'll have a look at the condition of one of my spares. If I know where to send it in Oregon, I can ship to there.
I picked up the dipstick-holder thingy the other day. Got to Oroville fast enough but I'm the slow one.
Let me know.

Thanks,
Ron, that would be great if it works out!
Chis, thanks, I'll let you know if I can't find one closer, I wasn't sure if there would be hazmat issues shipping a tank, ( They are getting crazy here, we can't even ship touch up paint without a hazmat license)!
I have bought lots of old cars, but never seen anything like this! I don't think you could ever get all the crud and rust out of this thing.
I've got two good tanks sitting around, and one really nice sender unit. Let me know if you want me to ship either a tank or sender unit, no charge for the items themselves. Would be from Victoria, BC. The sender unit would be an easy shipment.

I could use the sending unit if htchevyii doesn't take it. I live in Seattle so not too far. Let me know!
Thanks everybody, I think I've got the tank covered(thanks Alvon and Ron). Launie, I sent you a pm about the sender, thanks.
...and for those of you that don't know, Oregon 09 is Mirafiori's annual camp out at Howard Prarie near Ashland Oregon held July 17-20th. Anyone able to should attend it's alot of fun and a good chance to meet others and see more FIATs.
