The flakes clog the outlet strainer, the fuel filter and the carburetor jets, which causes stalling, surging and engines that die after a few miles. Many tanks also rust through along the bottom seam or under the old tar seal and start to weep fuel into the trunk, which is a real fire risk right in front of the driver. Cleaning and coating an old tank sometimes works, but a new tank is the reliable fix when it is pitted or leaking. Fit a new sending unit seal and fresh hoses at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisconnect the battery and work in a well-ventilated area, away from any flame or spark.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrain the old tank, then disconnect the fuel line, sending unit wire, filler hose and vent hoses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean the new tank interior if it was shipped with a rust-preventive coating (Mid America notes this for the 133 201 075 F type), and flush it before filling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFit a new tank-to-body seal and the tank straps, transfer or replace the sending unit with a new seal, and use new ethanol-rated hoses and clamps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFill a few gallons first and check every connection for leaks before filling completely.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this fit my 1972 Super Beetle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. 1971–1974 carbureted Super Beetles use OE 133 201 075 F, which JP-8136-0 replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it fit my 1976 Super Beetle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. 1975–1979 fuel-injected cars need the return-line tank 133 201 075 G.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it fit a Standard Beetle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Standard (torsion bar) Beetles use a different tank shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this the same as OE 133 201 075 F?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
