wagon gas tank
« on: August 29, 2011, 11:13:18 PM »
Was wondering if anyone could help.  We have a 73 wagon that has some rust on the gas tank.  I have found a tank locally for sale, but its from a 79 wagon.  Does anyone know if a 79 wagon tank work on a 73 wagon.  I have been looking for a while and cant find one for a 73 wagon.  Any suggestions or help would be appreicaited.  Thanks.

I know the fuel pickup/sender are different '71-'73, '74-'78 & '79-'80 so I assume the tanks have some changes as well. The sender holes are different sizes & placement as well.

Search "gas tank renu"  for a local dealer.  It is usually a radiator shop.
They clean out your gas tank, fix leaks, and coat the inside to prevent future rust.
 
I had it done on my 73 Pinto sedan.  It is a little pricey, but well worth it.
Now my fuel filter stays perfectly clean for months.

Eastwood Company has a DIY kit that cleans & seals the tank. I dont think it will seal more than pinholes but it does work.
