So, I traded my 67 Dart convertible for a 71 Demon 340 this weekend. I didn't pay close enough attention on the strap placement for tying it down to the trailer, and one of the straps wore a hole in the gas tank.

The car isn't here, so I can't look at it, so I thought I'd ask you guys if anyone knew about the tank. It's a California car, so it has the weird looking metal tube coming up next to the filler tube in the trunk. Some of you will know what I mean, I'm sure.

Anyway, I'm not sure how that tube attaches or anything, and I was wondering if anyone has ever disassembled one, and knows if it's just a standard tank, or if the tank vent or whatever it is makes it so I need to get a special tank, or get this one repaired.

Thanks.

Here's a schematic.......Ok, please, some more details on the Demon!

Same tank as a 71 Duster/Dart/Valiant for California.
I think Sherman makes a new tank for this model.

Just my $0.00..

If I hadn't put a hole in the tank, I could bring it by your house this week, Scott. I'm taking a class all week at the corner of Broadway and Argonne.

1971 Demon 340, Auto. Originally brown, now B7 blue. It has 15" Rallye wheels now.

Rock Auto lists one. Only $336. Dang.

should be a shield behind the drivers rear tire. That covers the 4 hoses that go from the tank to the tube. They hook in order as on the tank.

IIRC, there are 2, 5/16 and 2, 3/8 lines

I may have one of those tanks here in CA if you can get it. Can't likely ship it because of vapors.

i think about mid year all demons got that tank, my April build demon has the 4 vent tank. Chicago car all its life.

look this number up on e-bay $171 # 250668743626
save your lock ring the one they send is not as thick and may not seal as well as the original.

It is this tank:

My 71 demon is a Ca. car also and has
the 4 vent lines and the cover.

Sounds nice! Heck I could probably toss a rock that far, if not a know my pellet gun would reach it! Be sure to stop by, I'm usually at the house after 4pm most days.

Thanks for the info guys. We just threw a standard tank in it for now.

that demon looks great!! more pics when you get time please

Very cool looking car.
We should have someone post total
production numbers on the Demon's and
then see how many are on this board.
I know there are quite a few.

Here's what I have for pictures now.
