Subject:Fuel expansion tank - bypassing?
From:Zach White
Date:Fri, 27 Aug 2004 23:51:37 +0000

Hi Everyone,

I dropped my fuel tank to replace the seals, since I had the "spills fuel
when full" syndrome. In the process, I broke the fuel expansion tank. I got
a new one from the junkyard, but I couldn't get any without breaking the
round removable piece on the side, where the tube goes across to the other
expansion tank.

I have to drive home this weekend. Will I run into any problems just
bypassing the expansion tanks for now? Any reason this couldn't be a
permament fix? I know I'll loose a bit of capacity, but compared with
what I have now that doesn't concern me.
