Folks:
I keep sending messages to this list but I never get a responce, so
would someone just fire back to let me know if this is getting through? On
to the subject. I went down today and had a talk with Art Archer, the
fellow who brings in most of the philipine repro parts that come into the
US, about getting a Repro gas tank for my GPW (it had the ubiquitous big
bubba tank where the back seat used to be when I got it) and he told me
that the entire last batch of tanks, 110 of them, leaked and had to be sent
back. Further more he does not know when the next batch will arrive, the
phillipinos got scared about liability aftre some fellow almost blew up his
house when a full tank leaked out on the garrage floor overnight right next
to the water heater!!! Art said that there was a Canadian company who was
making the tanks but they wanted an order of 500 tanks to deliver. All
this leaves me with a problem, I need a good gas tank. I actualy want a
repro, because I have had big trouble with old tanks getting clogged up.
Can any one point me in the right direction? Thanks for the help.
