Default Re: Resto Question . 69 camaro Gas tank

Has anyone else noticed that the repo gas tanks (69 Camaro) have the filler neck too high. Does anyone else make a better fitting tank?

69 L89, Yes I have had the same problem with the fuel tank filler necks being too high and actually touching the bottom of the trunk pan.Is there a good repro tank out there?

If you stick a broom handle down the filler neck and carefully push down, you can locate it wherever you want it. I believe usually you could see the top part of the gas cap with the plate up. Is this correct?

The one i just got is a repro from National Parts Depo and its pretty much centered in the rear opening.

Not to high or low , definitly does not touch the trunk pan area.

I can send a pic if needed.

This tank is a Canadian made part , at least its labeled that way....

I happy with it.

Hope this helps.
JC

Peter,
On mine I can see most of the cap above the plate. How is it suppose to look?

One other thing is the repo gas caps. They don't vent very well or at all. I have bought two of they and both were the same. I guess I'll have to drill a small hole to make it vent.
