Well, ive got a 68 camaro, and my gas tank seems to have a crack in it. I needed a new gas tank anyway since mine was all smashed up from the previous owner. Now I have found a tank on classic industries for a 68 camaro. It's $119. What im wondering, is there anything else I should look to replace as far as gas tank stuff goes? Any other comments on gas tank replacement also appreciated.

oh yea...does the gas tank come with a float bowl inside to read gas level? or is that something I buy seperatly?

thanks!

Welcome to Team Camaro!

I'm not sure how a '68 tank differs from a '69 as far as the filler neck goes. Does it include the neck attached?

The fuel sender assembly is seperate. Sometimes they come with a new rubber O-ring, sometimes not. Make sure the sender comes with a new lock (spins on) ring as well.

You'll want to replace the material that goes between the tank straps and the tank, and something between the tank and the trunk brackets.

Make sure the ground wire and it's connection are clean and intact. Make sure it has a GOOD ground on the trunk floor where the original is attached.

the 68 tank I bought was completely bare. order sender, o-ring, and lock ring separate. Should be ok to re-use the hose and clamps for the filler, or order them too. Classic will have the straps, anti-squeak pads, and hardware too.

I bought a tank from sccrn on ebay and it came with oring and lock ring and antisqeak pads for $81 new and its a nice tank. The sending unit is something you buy seprate. My tank was a 69 but he has them for 67 and 68s as well

The 69 models has the metal neck already attached to tank whereas the 67-68 has a separate metal neck joined by a rubber hose & clamps.

For $119 I am sure it is a bare tank. I just did this on my 68, so I would recommend the following: Replace the fuel sender. Mine came with the locking ring and o-ring, but if not included, make sure you order them. Check the condition of the rubber hose between the filler neck and the tank. It can be replaced without dropping the new tank, but it is cheap and easy to replace while you are at it. Order or fabricate a anti-squeak kit. The original seemed to be made of tar-paper, but I still spent the money for the repro kit. Also replace the short peice of fuel line from the sender to the hard line and sand the area where the sender ground mounts to ensure a good contact. Good luck!

Dave is right on! Now is the time to change items out. I paid $89 for my tank at Carlisle last year, but I carried it home.
