My 86-year-old dad ordered a replacement gas tank for his 63 beetle from the big Chicago mail order outfit.
I put it in his car the other week with absolutely no problem, except the throat on the new tank is SMALLER than that of the original tank and the GAS CAP from the original tank does not fit.
Whitney DOES NOT AND WILL NOT supply a gas cap to fit the new tank.
Here are my questions:
- Is there a suitable VW gas cap out there to fit the smaller (2.25" in diameter) throat?
- Would I be better off removing the new tank and sending it back to Whitney?
- How should I repair the old tank?
Thanks.
