Re Gas tank/Dead puppy

[Beatty, Robert]

If the car is a NON-Quattro then it wont fit.  The tanks are different from
the quattro to the non-quattro.  You can use a tank from ANY type 44 q, from
the 86 5kq to the V8q, they are all the same.

Well, it might have. After talking with the mechanic,
we agreed on a lower price for the tank and labor. So
I'll have them do the work. Still a big hit to the
wallet, but not as bad as the original estimate.

Now it has to be trouble free for another 4 months.
