If the speedometer is working correctly, then the odometer problem is
not related to the replacement of the gas tank.  It's a problem with the
odometer gears themselves, inside the speedometer head.

There is lots of info on the web and in the archives about odometer
repair but I've never had a problem with any of mine so I have no
personal experience to share.  From what I've read, many DIY repairs
turned out to only be temporary and the best fix (apparently) was to
send the speedometer to a speedometer repair facility.
