bheinen74 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 There a few ways to repair using brass hose barb, threaded pipe etc and some jbweld to seal it. You find a threaded pipe of any kind, brass, etc, and then thread it into your tank and epoxy it. You can search and find the how-to's where they talk about it.

WoodsWagon Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 All the nipples crumbled off the tank in my friends 94 turbo wagon. He bought a new tank from the dealer instead of trying to mess with fixing it. It wasn't that bad of a price either. You can also convert it to the newer style aluminum and steel tank.

GeneralDisorder Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Used will do you no good. They are all shot. Here was my repair - cost about $15 for the parts. That was over 3 years ago and about 30k miles. No signs of any kind of problem. http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=37471 GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 GD, Thank you for the link provision. Out of my 5 or 6 turbo legacies, i have been lucky only one tank had a broken nipple. All my others have been fine. I got 2 spares now on a shelf, well one is attached to the engine still :-\ The whole thread title. "broken nipples" sounds like a nasty strip club issue. lol I suppose I would name a business that if I had one. :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
