Received the gas tank Friday, but haven’t installed it yet. The hose connection from the old tank is definitely aftermarket and does not appear to have the right thread. Next week I will take the tank to my local parts store and find the correct fitting fuel nipple, plus a new gas cap. I did install the rear shocks from KYB. While I was under the car, I noted a little wetness on the bottom of the differential cover. My thought is before I install the tank, to remove the cover, drain the fluid, inspect the gears, and install a new gasket and fluid. 1st thought is where to buy the gasket and what type of fluid. I will read my manual for the later. Also thought it best to wire brush and clean the cover prior to removal. FYI the cardboard box the tank came in, made laying on the gravel a lot easier.
