Title: What sort of value... Post by: ah_sprite on 13 August, 2011, 06:59:15 PM ...would a Series 1 fuel tank be? I have a very solid one here, was just wondering before I stuck it on eBay whether it'd be worth it or not.

If it helps – in November 2000 I paid £80 for a S1 Fulvia tank and thought it was money well spent. I was told that S1 tanks were better tinned on the inside and less prone to rusting and I think this is probably true. My old S2 tank was shedding rust and blocking filters. S1 tanks don’t have any provision for a return pipe, but this can be overcome by fitting a return connection into the main filler pipe into the tank. I think you should expect at least £100 for it. I am so sorry to hear that you have to sell your Fulvia! Having helped you with tools and advice I know how enthusiastic you are – it must hurt! Colin Title: Re: What sort of value... Post by: ah_sprite on 21 August, 2011, 09:30:07 PM Apologies, I'd planned to advertise it on here anyway before putting it anywhere else. I too believe that club members, where possible, should always have the opportunity of getting their 'mits on the bits' first.
The item is provisionally sold to Stuart Wilson on here, so it's going to the right place! Yes Colin, it's going to hurt when the car does go. I'm hoping that won't happen for a while yet though! We shall see. |
