Thanks mike-- this project started in my super shop in la habra, cal. but after layoffs it ate me alive. Its hard to believe that all my tools fit in the steel box on the right now.

the fuel tank needed the chrysler pump module, which communicates with the pcm. this also cured the oopswagen tank vent fiasco with the little plastic wing tanks in the front wells and all the vapor tubing that leaks. there was also a system used that was intended to seal the penetrations in the oe tank -- by a 3 year old-- they relied on buna rubber grommets. Vw dealers quickly learned not to fill up the tank or it would leak on the showroom floor. super retarded! the plastic coolant tubing cracks and fails around 20 years with high unavailability for replacement, so I redesigned that as well. It costs 100 bucks just to boil oit a used tank for welding prep, and thats a little more than the materials cost for a new, non-exploding tank with 3 more gallons volume, the updated recirc, pump and venting, which also makes my smog ref happy to boot.
