Have seen the same on non euros. I don't get it either. Plastic tank is a good idea. Access panel is a good idea. Distortion? No so much.

If that were the case, you would think that you wouldn't be able to fit new fuel tanks, because I have never seen one come with all the caps in it. They might distort over the years from the heat and the weight of the fuel.

Factory workshop manual says to screw the cap back on temporary if the pump is going to be out of the car for "several hours" to "avoid causing damage to the tank".
Honda says similar and a new tank came with a temporary cap. It is a thing.

I'll happily pull a 100 dashes before a bloody fuel tank...
I'm a big fan of external fuel pumps!
Just because you have to in order to get the Frenchies started...

I just need to go back to the older stuff... More fun.
This is tempting... Had one of these back in the day, such a comfy cruiser. Even took it across the Nullaboor to Perth once. https://www.facebook.com/marketplac...wse_serp:17734707-0a67-4da2-99a5-a211b250bd1e
Corona Mk I or Cresida surely?

Renault R25 was a cool car. Back when the frogs still did super comfy interiors and uber plush suspension...

Regassed the AC in the Megane using the Hychill butane/propane stuff. Hopefully it wont explode and set the car on fire, but it sure does work well!
550 grams of R134a was replaced with 170grams of Hychill, and its flipping arctic. Good stuff. Lets see how long it lasts - i did replace all the seals, so I'll find out where I didnt get one right soon I guess.

We've been telling him to burn the thing for months. Would be fucking hilarious if he did by accident

Apart from not idling properly and the annoying rev hang, it’s driving very nicely. The Eibach springs and Bilsteins in particular are bloody great.
Have the roof pod on, and will be strapping a trailer to it on Wednesday and driving it to Melbourne loaded to the gills. Have the RACV Total Care paid up….

So it doesn't need a snorkel? Wow, French cars have everything.

Where did the R134A go, I hope not the big reclaim bottle in the sky?

Honestly? Yes… I spent ages trying to find a mobile AC bloke to come out and degas the wrecked (and undrivable) car, most thought it was a weird question and the rest didn’t want to do it anyway. Literally had no choice when stripping the drivetrain out of it… Very annoying.
Global warming equivalent to burning a couple of hundred litres of fuel.

So why didn't you get it towed to a workshop to remove the gas?
