Fuel tank looking good

Posted on 4 november 2014 by Volvo1800s

The fuel tank cleaned up and looking good. Just needs new paint. Even the internals look very good, no rust. I had the intention to re-seal the inside of the fuel tank, but it is so clean, I guess that’s not necessary.

Fuel tank sender is lookin less good. Resistance is jumping around when moving the float and does not de- or increase fluently (which explains the bouncing around of the fuel gauge). The resistance has to be in between 5-10 Ohm (empty) and 180-205 Ohm (full) (If I’m correct). Think I’m just going to put a new one in, they are not that expensive.

Classic Volvo exhibition in Rosmalen, the Netherlands

It’s already a few weeks ago, but me and my gal (she likes Volvo’s and knows all the different types, I am so lucky!) went to the Volvo Beurs in Rosmalen, what fun to see some beautiful Volvo’s at this exhibition. Especially the P1800 / S / E / ES section, it was good for the motivation to see some 1800’s in driving condition (other than the 1800 which lies in 20.000 pieces in my garage). Also, the parking lot was divided into sections, you had to park by type and parking was free if you’d have a Volvo! 😀
