1966 Volvo 122 Ragtop
As some of you already have seen, was I forced to sell the 1962 Amazon last year, so now i only have the Volvo I bought in 1978.
Sometime during her long "sleep" did the keys dissapear, so I had to move it, using a pair of skates. Luckely did i find a extra steering wheel lock, with 2 keys, in all the stuff I hoarded over the years, so that was one of the first jobs i did on her. Next was to find a key that would open the gas cap. After we had tried 12 different keys, did I finally find a key that worked - and it had a twin - very pleased. After I drained what was once "fuel" it was time to remove the fuel sender, to see what was going on ? Hmm - [/quote] |

I have just completed a refurbishment of my '64 131 fuel tank and the sender was in a similar condition, however after a clean up with a fine wire brush it came up like new and works perfectly. I used a vacuum to clean out the tank and then fitted a new in line filter.

Ahh - did you also have your workshop ruined, by the smell of what was inside the tank ? My car have been standing for nearly 21 years, so the "stuff" I drained was not very nice. I also soaked my transmitter for an hour, in some WD40, and then carefully started to move the lever arm (very gently) and after a while it came loose, and moved freely again. I then hooked it up, with a test lamp, and it seemed to be OK. Then I moved it to the car & tested it again, and it worked fine. The tank will be removed, dont think I will be able to get the smell out. It also had a small leak under the fillerneck, and a dent underneath. Have a nice tank which I am now restoring. |

May I ask why this thread is not about a Ragtop? Am I missing something?
