Mine is passenger side rear corner.  Have previously uploaded picture’s but don’t know how to access with forum revisions.

I removed my leaking tank and still need to get a new tank. Been using a portable plastic tank, a little 3 gallon size, for a year now. 50 mile range without worry and haven’t actually been motivated enough yet to get the new metal tank.

MG Magic has the correct tank and instructions for cutting and welding the filler neck so it will fit under…[Read more]

Gary,

MG Magic only has VW tanks

If you TDr is VW based, buy from one of the VW parts vendors. Just one example, CIP1 sells them for $143.99.

MG Magic wants $168.99 for a VW tank.

If you have a front engine car, I believe you will have a bit of a problem finding a replacement, unless your manufacturer used the donor vehicle tank.

I have a 16’x7′ enclosed cargo trailer with a rear drop down ramp that I use for hauling and storing my front engine Ford MGTDr. I installed four recessed  D ring anchors through the wood floor and bolted to the trailer frame.

Have heard of some who have tried…[Read more]

Thanks for the input. When I removed the tank and shook it upside down the particles and chips that came out were typical rust color. Do you recommend I should still go with the muriatic/POR treatment? Thanks

You have to physically remove the crap, blow out or replace the lines, pump and carb. If you are not sure it is rust, test with magnet. The…[Read more]

I’ve trailered “Murphy” numerous times to the mechanic using a tow dolly and using a full auto trailer from U-Haul.  Other than the extreme narrowness requiring extreme caution driving (or more often, pushing) it on and off the trailer, you just secure the TDR like any other vehicle.  There are nylon straps that go over the front wheels and r…[Read more]

I’ve never trailered. But have seen many friends strap their cars down. Sounds to me like you have it covered Dave.

Strap the rear tires first. Then use the rachet straps on the front beam to tighten her down.

Amen Rick!

Beautifully said!

Beautiful, Rick. Peace and spit-fire to you and your family. Your mom did right by you and you by her, and that’s the world right there.

Rick,

Well said brother

In my prayers
