I performed the CSI autopsy on the T-34 tank, and looked inside the 64 Notch tank that I have here. Neither has the cup in the bottom of the tank. Since that sketch that I got came from Europe, I am now to assume that that cup in the carbed tanks was for later carbed Euro T-3's. I did not pull the sender from my '66 Fastback to look in it. BTW, I have 2 FI tanks laying out in the weeds. They need cleaned, but one of them is from my '71 FB. The other is from my '69 SqB parts car. You are welcome to one if you want to pay the shipping. -- Russ Wolfe '71 FB AT '66 FB MT '64 T34 (not running) '65 T1 (not running) '05 KIA Sorento SUV russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
