Pictures of Gas Tanks

Are you tearing down your burb for restoration, or are you just driving it and enjoying it the way it is?

If you plan to restore it, then I'd yank all that out and put in a new tank. I did that on mine, and I see you have the same hitch system I had. To which I had to torch it out, and lightened the load a couple hundred pounds.

If you plan to just drive it, and enjoy things the way they are for the most part. Then I would just leave things be, after making sure that all of the lines are safe.

Though, if you find that the rear tank is rusty... I would try to make a decision on removing it and the hitch system, then even think about replacing the other tank with a new OEM style one. I'd then go with a new hidden hitch, if a hitch was still needed.

That's my way of thinking... Projects like this, I usually go all out on them.
