EMPI Stamped Steel Fuel Tank for 1960–1967 VW Type 1 & Karmann Ghia

The standard in mid-sixties chassis restoration. For 1960–1967 model years, Volkswagen moved to a high-capacity, offset-filler tank geometry. This EMPI 95-2001-B unit is manufactured from heavy-gauge cold-rolled steel with a precision lap-seam weld along the perimeter flange for maximum burst strength and leak resistance.

This complete-solution kit ships with the essential threaded fuel outlet pipe and internal brass strainer, so your fuel delivery system is as clean as the tank itself.
