It's only cool until it starts to be a pain, or until you spill gas on something in there that you care about, or until you have to gas up in pouring rain, or freezing snow. That said, be aware that your FI gas tank has an outlet AND an inlet on the bottom. None of the early tanks will have what you need here. There are also internal differences that make this more than just a matter of brazing in an extra tube. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
