Topic: Springs in fuel tank

[Corey Bowcutt]

I removed the fuel tank from my 64.5 project.  It looks very much like the original tank.  There were two springs shown below inside the tank.  Any thoughts on this?

Thank you,

Interesting.  I do remember the days of gas siphoning. I had a neighbor "friend" who siphoned the gas out of my car.
