Default Fuel Tank for 69

I need to have my fuel tank repaired (leak under strap) or order a new one. If I buy a new one the catalog ask if I have a early or late model, how can I tell?

Take the time/build code for your '69 (upper right corner of the trim tag), call the vender, give them the time/build code, and they should be able to tell you whether your car is early or late as it pertains to tanks.

Have you considered sealing the tank? If the hole is small, fuel tank sealant might solve your problem without the expense of a new tank.

Just buy a new tank and then you are done with it, not hard to change.--good luck.

Hi Tony,
The Quanta site indicates the change occurred with July-August built cars. It doesn't indicate what the change was, sorry.
Regards,
Alan

Perhaps you could ask about the differences and then look at your tank...
