They are 14.x or 15.x gallons. Have to break out the Bentley to find out for sure, can't find reference online. Also, so far as I can tell online, nobody makes new ones. I checked BD, WW, BB, and BFY. They're making them for 55 - 67 but not for 68 - 79. Finding a good one at a junkyard may be difficult with the new EPA regs requiring scrappers to remove and puncture "petroleum product containers" (gas tanks and oil pans) -- (actually, regs require safe disposal of petroleum products, most scrappers pull the tanks, poke holes in them, and drop them in a pit of "kitty litter" which they barrel up and toss every few weeks). Ask on the lists and check on The Samba (http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=270063) (http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=184526) G2 On Mon, 30 Oct 2006 08:10:17 -0800 (PST) Mark Sawyer <mechmark@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Actually I think the bay window tank is 13 gallons.
