DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Yes the finish is thick underseal type - rough / pimpled. I’ll get some more images and see if anyone can positively ID. Don’t want to bill it as original if it’s not!

I’ll do that if I can work out its original. See below - three fittings - I presume the one on the right is the screen filter. There are no under tank fittings - did the originals have those? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240426/a1a30d55a1f2841a6ca4d089f7893189.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tap...

Sell the fuel tank on ebay (or on here). That will fill a gap for somebody, and people value originality. If anyone wants it happy for it to go free to a good home. I’m not sure if it’s original or not. Sure someone with the skills and time could restore it. PM me if any interest. Sent from my iPho...

The Dansk version is excellent, great value I think, easy to obtain e.g. Design911 and fits perfectly. The only difference that I found was that the angle of the send and return pipes seemed to be subtly different from the original and I recall having to bend one of the (bolt on) pipes slightly. th...

Nothing there overly concerns me. I'm more hands on than most, so this wouldn't be for everyone. But if it were me I'd chemically or electrically remove the rust then epoxy line the tank. It looks very thin, maybe less than a tenth of a millimetre thick on a tank wall probably 1.2mm thick. I'd be m...

I have a Dansk tank in mine, fit is fine, You just need to paint it prior to fitting to factory spec or you own. As far as I understand the, the main difference is that the Dansk tanks don't have the internal filter. But when was the last time someone replaced the screw in tank filter? Plus you hav...

Any views on what / where to buy please?

Are the after market ones any good / a nightmare to fit?

My fuel tank looks like it has had it (see video below apols for poor quality!). Is there any point in trying to have it professionally cleaned?

Good advice. Thanks! Porsche price was £70 cheaper than I could find elsewhere so have gone for that...

To update - did the flow test and got 900 mil at 30 seconds which is in spec. That said I’m pretty sure I could have got in the car and it would have been fine to drive for a bit then the gremlin would return as it did yesterday…. Pressure still showing 9psi. I wonder if the 14 psi spec is measured ...

Will. Did you do the fuel delivery test.? Pump.? I would take a quick look at the fuel tank filter before buying a new pump. https://www.design911shop.com/p/fuel-filter-for-fuel-tank--6-mm-porsche-911-65-73/?currency=GBP&country=GB&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwiYOxBhC5ARIsAIvdH51KdT6bGXBZ...

If it helps to try, I ought to have a fully functioning MFI lift pump that you could borrow available in a couple of weeks' time. It is from our 2.4S and has been happily supplying the 3.2 short stroke MFI engine in our hillclimb car. At least it would confirm or rule out the pump. Cheers JW JW tha...
