OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time.

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community!

Gas Tank (Fuel Tank), OEM VW, 1968 and Newer VW Beetle, Ghia, and THING, 113-201-075A
Gas Tank (Fuel Tank), OEM VW, 1968 and Newer VW Beetle, Ghia, and THING, 113-201-075A
Price: $299.95

Gas Tank (Fuel Tank), OEM VW, 1968 and Newer VW Beetle, Ghia, and THING, 113-201-075A replaces those extremely corroded stock fuel tanks. The thicker steel used for OEM tanks makes them nicer than aftermarket. If you shine a flashlight into the tank, you'll likely see why your fuel filters keeps getting clogged! These tanks are brand new, but they do require extensive cleaning prior to installation! These sit in dusty warehouses, and often have spiderwebs, dust, dirt, and all sorts of stuff in them. A THOROUGH cleaning prior to installation is strongly recommended! This tank really IS worth the additional expense over the basic one that we also sell. more info

Fish the wires through the new boot, put the boot into the holes on the body and headlight bucket, then re-install the wire ends into the clip, and plug it back in!
