Well, after a bunch of looking on the Samba: The 67 tank is different, one
year only, and has a hump in the middle of it, but it doesn't hold anymore fuel
since fuel will not rise into the hump, no way for the air to escape, no one
seems to know why the factory did this to the 67 tank. It does hold the same
amount of gas, 40 liters or 10.6 gallons.

My 67 just has a normal 10.6 tank. Maybe an optional thing? Mine is february 67.

Something else that it has that someone may be interested in. I am trying to
find some data on these, maybe someone can help. This is a November 66, 67
model year bus. It has what I call the hump back fuel tank which I have heard
is one year only fuel tank and supposedly holds more fuel than the standard 40
liters (10.6 gallon) splitty tank. It has a hump in the middle to make it
larger than a standard before 67 splitty, but is not overall larger like the
bay. I have looked at an August 66 manual (67 model year) and a December 66
manual and they both say the fuel capacity is the 40 liters (10.6 gallons).
Anyone have any personal insight into the 67 tank and how much it really
holds? And would anyone be interested in this 67 only tank, particularly if it
holds more than 10.6 gallons?

Got one, it's nice. Outside I assume but have the insides also. I'm not sure
but I think the cargo door handle is 67 one year only.

Well, I started today parting out the 67 bus that I acquired last week. A real
hippy van. Amazing what you can find in those things. Between the bumper and
the bumper bracket on the rear I found an interesting baggy. It contained 2
other baggies. One had a little set of scales and the other had a whole bunch
of seed. Not sure what they are but I am thinking of starting a garden.
Anyone need anything off of a 67 11 window walk through? Has some good body
panels if anyone is up to cutting. Or raising a garden..
