Tank Sticker

[M W.]

Is there an easy way to see if your tank stickier is still attached without doing a full body off removal? Someone told me you could possibly remove the rubber flange around the fuel filler neck but I am open to suggestions.
If I am out in left field with this forgive me in advance.

Thanks,

Re: Tank Sticker

yeah you can do it with out a full off body removal, just like they said some times you get lucky and can see if you still have it glued on. then you could drop your tank. good luck

Re: Tank Sticker

Assuming you are talking about a 67 up to about 72... if the sticker is still present you might be able to see it thru the rubber flange area. More than likely you won't be able to read it, if it exists.

Some of the C3 body styles have a copy under the dash area around the radio...might want to check that out if it applies.....

You don't need a "full body off removal". Just need to drop the fuel tank.

Re: Tank Sticker

I hate to sound ignorant but would I find a tank sticker present on a 63? Mid years are new to me. I have been a C1 guy for years.

Thanks,

Re: Tank Sticker

I have a 1974 coupe and was wondering if it is hard to drop the gas tank? Does anyone have a step by step procedure???

Thanks

Re: Tank Sticker

Step by step proceedures are given in your copy of the Chassis Service Manual. It's not a walk in the park like changing oil, but it's not a HUGE effort either...

Re: Tank Sticker

it is not that hard, when you get the pipes and mufflers out of the way. then you will need to take the spare tire parts off. then you should be able to let the straps out and the wires and hoses off, then I think you should have it. it has been a few years since I did it so I may have left out a step. you can do it, with out to much trouble. I would look and see if it is other sopts also, like in a early post the sheet could be under the dash. I am not sure on 74 models

Re: Tank Sticker...Late Model C3

Kelly has the right idea...explore other spots before pulling the rear end apart to "see" is there is one. You can also remove the gas lid bezel and the rubber boot and simply see if one is present. Sometimes its visible...sometimes its not.

On the late model C3s, owners have found them stuffed up in the rear chassis (low-mileage cars) as well as stuck between the tach and speedo. They've also been discovered under carpet, in the back storage compartments. Of course, low-mileage cars have better chance that those documents are still there rather than high-mileage where previous owners have already purged an interior of factory production vestiges.

On my 73, I dropped the spare tire carrier and used a mirror. It was on the top front passenger side of the tank.
