FTTS - Fuel Tank Repair Sleeve/Boss - All 928 Fuel/Gas/Petrol Tanks 78 to 95. Also 944/968 - Pre-Order
You are removing the in-tank pump or the in-tank strainer from your 928 fuel tank and the threaded sleeve comes out with it - catastrophic!!! Start looking for a new or used tank as no matter how you try it cannot be fixed - many have tried and failed. New tanks cost circa $1800 and used tanks anything from $350 to $800 each.
Well think again - thanks to a clever 928 owner we have the fix. Inserts from inside the tank, pulls into place and ready for the in-tank pump or strainer to screw into place. Seals with a gasket just like the original. The arm on the boss stops it spinning. Comes with a gasket.
Also used by 944/968 owners with the same problem - works just the same.
Additional Notes -----
The tank is blow molded, and as such, can be thicker or thinner than other tanks.
If your tank appears to be slightly thicker than normal.
1) Remove the orange seal from the FTTS – it does not fit in that position. It is only used on the outside of the fitting when screwing in the filter screen.
2) Remove the yellow bowl inside the tank and push the FTTS directly into the wall of the tank. The bowl is only held in with 4 small blobs of glue and will come away easily.
3) Use a long piece of wood through the top of the tank as a lever and push the FTTS into the hole while someone else starts screwing the screen into place from the outside.
4) Put the lid on the yellow bowl and back into position. The cup from the fuel level sensor will hold it in place.
