Good evening,
Due to a recent shipping... mishap... I will be replacing the fuel tank in my 1971 280SE. I'd love to hear all the things I should know before I have to learn them myself the hard way. Some questions to start, but all advice and experience welcome.
1. Are the replacement tanks from Dansk of acceptable quality?
2. I have heard murmurings of needing to flush the tank before installation. What does this look like?
3. I see the "black boxes" glued to the top side of the tank. I assume they are weather fast and are intended to reduce panel resonance. New tanks don't have them. Should I a) not worry about it or b) use ___ (fill in the blank) as a replacement?
Many thanks,
D
