[@malkucken]

good deal! I read somewhere that the inside of these tanks is often coated with something that may gum up the carburetor - so it needs to be flushed.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Outstanding deal. I was very happy. Yes with any new tank it’s always a good idea to rinse them out.

[@PopularityContest]

There's nothing like a new tank to avoid unnecessary headaches in the long-term

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Oh heck yeah brother absolutely!

[@timhall2355]

Cheap foam earplugs work great for bolt holes. Self leveling seam sealer works for the drip Rails.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

@@timhall2355 I never thought about the earplugs, I have a ton of those. That is a really excellent idea! I’m gonna have to look for the self leveling seam similar a punch it into Google. I have never heard of that before. I really appreciate the tip!

[@slapcity5313]

Fresh tank oh yeah 😎

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Heck yeah!!

[@pstreetgarage7304]

Great video ! 58 dollars for a new tank is insanely cheap !!

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Thank you! Yes it was a great deal!

[@Dr.VDubsCreations]

Clean drip rails , use brushable sem sealer and it will sand smooth and I hard mask top edge .

[@SladesVWBeetle]

I didn’t know they made a brushable seamer to be quite honest with you. I would definitely be interested in doing that. And thank you for taking time to comment.

[@douglasbarnhart3324]

Awesome deal thanks for sharing Slade.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

@@douglasbarnhart3324 yes it truly was. Thank you my friend. I hope you had a great day.

[@davidgiesfeldt6650]

Just redid my 68 original tank. Yours and the new don’t have the one year metal vent pipe near the spare. The small one must be replacement for the vent that is on the tee at the filler and routes up and around the dash the out to atmosphere at the front of the tank. It will be a much cleaner install. Thanks for the vid. Love your channel.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

@@davidgiesfeldt6650 thanks very much, and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. No mine don’t have that. It has a pipe on the right side, which would be driver side when installed. Capped off. I didn’t make a plan of attack I’m going to vent it yet. Thank you so much for being here.

[@bradsturges3486]

Here for the gas tank giveaway 😊

[@SladesVWBeetle]

😁

[@fireice5293]

Good video as usual. Holley fuel injection on a beetle interests me

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Oh, yes, from what I understand so far it works very well.

[@MikeMoose67]

Wow that seems much easier than trying to clean one out… I called my local radiator shop and they asked 150.00 to clean mine up … forget that …. Sure I’d like to keep it German but that’s a big difference…

[@SladesVWBeetle]

@@MikeMoose67 yes, it’s not cheap any longer to get that done. You’re better off. Just buying a new one if it’s really bad.

[@jimstewart6145]

nice job.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Thank you Jim, hope you’re doing well.

[@cobusvanniekerk83]

Very nice

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Thank you very much!

[@timhall2355]

I need a new tank for my 74 Ratbug.

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

You might need the spare gas tank, for the 77 Beetle.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Yes, you are so right my friend. Heather’s gas tank seems to be very nice on hers. But I think I better hold onto this just in case.

[@mrbrisket6794]

Looking good

[@SladesVWBeetle]

@@mrbrisket6794 thank you my friend!!

[@tjd1956]

I could use a new gas tank for my 70!

[@SladesVWBeetle]

They seem to be very nice quality honestly.

[@bobwalter3375]

That’s a great deal. And happy birthday I seen it on facebook

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Thank you I truly appreciate that.

[@bobwalter3375]

Yaaay it’s Friday Slade day

[@SladesVWBeetle]

I’m going to start doing Tuesdays and Fridays hopefully.

[@adamgray2720]

I'll have to look into getting a tank for Clyde. I've got 2, but no one cleans them out around here anymore.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

@@adamgray2720 if they’re not real bad, check out one of my videos. You could probably just clean it out yourself depending on how bad it is.

[@jacknicolai1375]

HEY SLADES HOW ARE YOU DOING? HOPE ALLS WELL.

[@vickallen8230]

I didn’t know Holley made a EFI system for VW Beetle that’s very interesting

[@SladesVWBeetle]

I honestly didn’t find out till recently.

[@V8N8T]

They don't make one specifically for a vw, it's designed to be a bolt on for a ford inline 6. It's designed as a autolite 1100 efi replacement but the flange is very close to the vw dual port carb flange

[@SladesVWBeetle]

@@V8N8T that’s a great comment!! I wasn’t sure what that deal was. Seems to work well according to a few that used them. Hope you’re doing well Nate!!

[@SladesVWBeetle]

@@V8N8T let me know if you’re on Facebook.

[@V8N8T]

@SladesVWBeetle I am hope you are as well! I have one on the shelf to experiment with a stock 1600 and then see how it reacts to boost...I have too many projects haha

[@WestGeorgiaAirCooled]

Man it sucks that these are discontinued. I went with a fuel cell as the old tanks are always an issue. Wish I’d known about these, maybe they will bring them back but probs not.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

@@WestGeorgiaAirCooled yes, I agree, they were still available while I was actually making this video and put it up. At the snap of a finger they are gone. I have half of mine to give them a call, and talk with them they could probably sell a ton of these.

[@michaelyoung1901]

What is the red on your bug where the hood seal goes??? Yea NICE TANK. I'LL HAVE TO GET ONE FOR MY 73 SUPER.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

@@michaelyoung1901 that is actually called colonial red by Rustoleum. Although I have to sand it because I’m doing a different color now lol I like that color too.

[@bava67]

Unfortunately, I just saw on the Holley website that these were discontinued

[@SladesVWBeetle]

@@bava67 someone else told me that, I’m really glad I ordered when I did. I thought they were just temporarily out of stock.

[@bava67]

@@SladesVWBeetle For sure

[@ArthurSmallidge]

My Super Beetle came with a new tank from a previous owner. The trouble is they butchered all the evaporative emissions lines. I'd like to actually have that working, the canister is still present, but I can't find any routing diagrams. Also the EGR valve is present, and the vacuum line was connected to the carburetor, but the EGR valve was not connected, so it will as just a big vacuum leak when the valve opened. I have the signal line plugged, but I want to find the EGR parts, as I'm trying to restore the car to EXACTLY as it left the factory in 1974.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

I would actually go onto the Facebook group, Slades VW community. So pictures can be shown to you of whatever everything is set up like.

[@rscruiser3533]

Maybe you would like ------ Rally Racing ------ take a look at: " Volkswagen Beetle Rallying - Pure Engine Sound" video - by Swedish Rally ------ some get a little hairy ------ Hope you are doing well ----- Rodney

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Actually I do like rally racing. I don’t see it on tv, but have seen it before. Very cool!

[@michaelyoung1901]

That tank looks like the one in my 73 Super. If it's up for sale and you haven't promised it to anyone, how much do you want for it???🤔

[@Dr.VDubsCreations]

Which they had a early tank

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Oh yeah, absolutely. They would sell a ton of them.

[@dubworldvwadventures]

How about including a link to those fuel tanks? A web search produced nothing.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

@@dubworldvwadventures about two days after the posting of this video, they discontinued the item. They must’ve ran out of them extremely quick. From what I understand they’re no longer going to get more in sadly.

[@dubworldvwadventures]

@@SladesVWBeetle oh wow. That’s a shame. You know what’s strange, this popped up as a new video from you and I didn’t see any of these comments until you responded back to me.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

@@dubworldvwadventures it is a bummer. I didn’t realize they were trying to clear out their inventory. People grab them up extremely fast.

[@michaelyoung1901]

Did you spray or brush on the rust bullit??? I'm going to get thier white Rust Bullit. Also what were you going to spray with your 2k clear???

[@Frisco1x]

Just looked it up and it's currently not available 😢

[@johnwerner7194]

How do you find this stuff😂

[@ZackHarding]

He said in the video a friend told him and showed the friend

[@SladesVWBeetle]

I talked about it in the beginning of the video. I was very happy to get a hold of these. Appear to be very nice quality also.

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

Can you post a link to holley gas tank?

[@SladesVWBeetle]

@@vintage76vipergreenBeetle here’s the link I just checked my email, trying to remember where I had that saved. It says not available so they might be out of them right now you’ll have to maybe call them but here’s the link. www.holley.com/products/discontinued_product/parts/19-235

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

@SladesVWBeetle Thanks for the link. I try to look for it, and couldn't find it. To bad the tanks are discontinued. I would have bought one, to have as a spare.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

@@vintage76vipergreenBeetle they’re discontinued? I didn’t know if they were out of stock I’m outside working, so I just checked randomly and sent the link.

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

@SladesVWBeetle The link shows, the tanks are NLA,and the price isn't available. You probably got the last 2 tanks.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

@@vintage76vipergreenBeetle I know quite a few people started ordering them right prior to me. They still make the sniper system them that I’m aware of so it’s a wonder they still don’t sell the gas tanks. That’s kind of strange. But I see exactly what you’re talking about my friend.

[@christhompson200]

Where did you find the tank? Thanks!

[@SladesVWBeetle]

@@christhompson200 I actually just checked recently, they must’ve sold out of all of them and discontinued. They must be stopping the production from Holley.

[@christhompson200]

@@SladesVWBeetle Thanks for your reply! Yes I could not find anything after much searching....Oh well....Have a Good Day!!

[@SladesVWBeetle]

@@christhompson200 I didn’t know there was a limited time on those. Sure wish they would do that again. There are so many places that sell tanks out there that was just a cheap price.

[@christhompson200]

@@SladesVWBeetle Sad but true...Everything i could find starts at 150 to 300...Dang!!
