Re: Who's s sporting their original tanks
We run the original tanks in all the trucks we have and have not had a problem so far.

Re: Who's s sporting their original tanks
I would cover it in Carpet and insulator to stop the smell. May sound weird I like the smell of Gasoline Haha.

Re: Who's s sporting their original tanks
I just replaced the original with a new one just like it. Original was leaking and I don't want to be customizing a fuel filler.

Re: Who's s sporting their original tanks
I haven't experienced the gas smell but maybe it's cause mine is a 72 vented ??

Re: Who's s sporting their original tanks
I am. I think they are awesome. But I also want to put in a blazer tank and still use the original filler neck and cap so some gas line routing will have to take place.

Re: Who's s sporting their original tanks
No the gas tanks on the 72s are vented through a hose instead of the cap

Re: Who's s sporting their original tanks
You can get them restored and still be Original
Is there any way to get Paint off of the Chrome Gas cap ?

Re: Who's s sporting their original tanks
I know some people think they're unsafe- but I think they're fine. My wife has a 71 VW bug & the tank on those are in front of the dash (makes the old Pintos seem safe!) I like the noise & smell of the gas too.

Re: Who's s sporting their original tanks
I'm running the original tank. Looked inside mine the other day and it is clean as a whistle. No gas smell in the cab either... but then again every time I open the cap it has a little pressure inside so I guess it seals up pretty tight... not sure but I think the 70 vents from the cap. As I can push on it and make it vent.
