Need a gas tank for the 65 NYer

[Boyd]

Taking the 65 to a friend's lift to pull the gas tank. Filled her up the other day and the current tank has several leaks. I think it could be ethanol. Anyway, should I have it repaired or get a new one? Where can I get one?

Any decent radiator shop should be able to repair your tank. Also there is a company called Gas Tank Renu, there is probably a franchise near you somewhere.
Otherwise, Van's sells drop in reproduction gas tank for your 65 NYr...

Phase Separation (moisture + ethanol) sinks to the bottom, just as accumulated moisture would anyway. Only thing is that some fuel additives made the accumulated moisture "usable" rather than not, so it would be burned with the gasoline. Phase Separation can't be done that way, just drained/removed before it gets into the carb and such.

Be sure to replce the rubber fuel line at the tank (replacing the ground strap, or making sure it still works) and at the rear of the stub frame, too. Plus the section on the intake side of the fuel pump.

Enjoy!

Murray Park sells new ones. I believe he committed for someof the models to get them produced.

Thank you guys. I found one at Birnbaum. They disappointed me in my last purchase and I told them so. They offered me a discount of the previous purchase. I will let you know how it works out.
