Hi all, my fueltank from my 67-spider leaks.
Is there a replacement for sale?
Superperformance has them, but price is high in my opinion...
Any ideas anybody?

Hello,
where is the leak ?
I got it in the area from the overflow pipe into the tank, easy to fix with metal glue

Re: Tank spider leaks
there are enough companies around who can fix this....instead of new
Re: Tank spider leaks
There is one guy in Napoli who is able to create new tanks for the Dinos... but they come to the same price as from superformance.

Re: Tank spider leaks
I will take it out this weekend and see how bad it is. Ill check inside with a insidecamera.
If fixable, ill clean it from inside (lemonacid or something), take paint out from outside and weld the seem close.
Hope it works
thanks for all input

Re: Tank spider leaks
Thanks for all the input.
It was no leak after all!
The previous owner has put a return fuelline from carbs to tank.
He did not secure it in a good way: he put a hole in the tanksender and made a bad connection with....some rubber...
So when i filled the tank compl;etely, it overflooded from there
I took the returnline away anyway (not original for early spiders) and closed the hole with epoxy.
Thanks
