Hi!
I just finished restoring a Max II 16HP that sat buried in a barn for 7+ years. I got a good deal on it, but spent more on parts than anticipated (isn't that always the way?). I am ver happy with it now, it runs great! The only thing remaining is the gas tank; I've been running on a temporary one because the previous owner 'liberated' the original for another project...he thinks it got sold with the project. It's the only thing I haven't been able to bring myself to buy new...seems like a lot of money. Does anyone have a used one or a lead to a manufacturer of something similiar for reasonable money? I can get an aluminum one made for about $50 less than a new one, but that's still over $100.
Thanks! -Gerry} |

Gerry, I can't remember the exact Diameter of the Max 2 gas tank I remeoved mine once. If you get a poly tank before you mount it make absolutely sure there aren't any plastic shavings left in it that could work their way into the fuel line!
They have round Poly & Aluminum Tanks in the issue's of Hot VW magazine that I get, they have a round 8 x 30 or 33 for 45.00 and the gas cap is 8 dollars S.S. Straps are 34.00 chrome are 26.00
The # to P.C.U. is 951-738-8380 you might find some other VW or Sandrail Magazine's who have the same tanks Good Luck |

Gerry, I forgot to tell you that most of the round tanks will probably have fill holes on one side of the tank but I have seen them with fill holes in the center. |

Gerry, Have you tried calling Richard to see if he has an old take off in stock? He may be able to help you with a direct fit piece. |
