W113 Pagoda SL Group > Wanted To Buy
280SL (82 liter) fuel tank
rwmastel:
If anyone has a genuine Mercedes 280SL fuel tank in very good condition (no leaks, no repairs), then I would be interested in making a purchase. Not looking for JP Group Dansk or other aftermarket parts.
OR Pagoda:
I have one from a 70 280 Sl. it will need to be boiled out. I replaced it because i'm, not physically able to deal with cleaning it.The car had sat for about 20 years, but always in a heated garage. No leaks
Pawel66:
It is available at Mercedes, A1134700701 for ca $1500 including VAT here. Just making sure you are aware of it.
Lorsar:
I recently came across this site. It is a duplicate of the classic center website. I purchased some parts and paypal charge showed MB of Warwick (RI). Their prices are better than classic center with MBCA discount.

This is not the only MB dealer that is doing this, using a thinly disguised website to sell outside of their normal franchise area...may as well take advantage until they are forced to shut down and another one with a slightly different name from a different dealer pops up!
And, by the way, that price of under $700 for an OEM fuel tank for our cars is a STEAL. I paid probably twice that more than 20 years ago...if anyone has been fiddling around with an old fuel tank what with boiling, coating, repairs and what have you, this is a good opportunity to stop the band aids and get a good fix before the part is NLA. Once it goes NLA if it comes back it will be more costly.
