Re: [alfa] filling a milano

Oh Heck, nothing else to do on a school day at 1:05-1:45 CDT AM.

Was it a European 4 cyl w/ aprox.12 gal gas tank? That's position is 
where that size tank went in 105/115 series cars, I'm surprised that it 
would still be there in 116 cars? Was the US model that different?

I don't think the behind the rear seat mounted tanks were a quick fix. 
GTV6 & Milano V6 have bigger tank behind the rear seat out of the way of 
rear end collisions. Believe the tank was there too, in the Alfettas, 
think it was behind the seats too, not as big as the V6 tank. Alfetta GT 
has bigger trunk and back seat than GT- V6. Was maybe the behnd the rear 
seats position for US safety regs? Or Alfa's product liability planning? 
Sure made fold down rear seats and ski pockets not an option! Did euro 
model Alfa 75's have folding seats or ski pass thru pockets?

Best Wishes,
Bernie Bennett
