Hi guys,

I have a 1975 244dl with a bad petrol tank I would like to replace. This is why:
*It leaks when it's full (a bit from the top I think) and when it's nearing empty it makes the car unreliable as petrol becomes unavailable to the supply line when the car corners.

*The petrol pump (could be internal one or the external one, or both) make a lot of noise when petrol levels are low.

*The fuel level float sends inaccurate readings to the tank guage -- it fluctuates a lot when the tank is nearning empty.

I have a 1978 244dl that has none of these problems with the tank. BUT it is sadly not identical to the '75 tank. Firstly the pumps appear to be inside the tank and further along under the car, and secondly the wiring looks more complicated - there are more wires to start with and a relay that the '75 doesn't have.

Do you think that I should change them over? Does anyone have any tips on stuff to look out for? Can I fix up the '75's tank to get rid of some of these problems? Or should I just get a new tank? Where from too? Thanks a lot in advance for any help! Erik.
