Let us know about the tank - I'm thinking its a hose! Emissions, vents, fill - there are lots to fail!
I got it from carparts.com. They don't indicate the material, so I'm sure its made of the FINEST of metals from Taiwan https://www.carparts.com/fuel-tank/...lectra&vehicle[make]=Buick&vehicle[year]=1976
While I'm here...the party still goes on. My rear end of the body is SHODDY! My car had been missing all of the rear taillight rubber fillers. Today, I replaced both taillight assemblies with some nice units (rubber in tact) that I scored off eBay about 3/4 years ago. Today, I finally installed them. The average person can't tell the difference from afar. But this upgrade makes a WORLD of difference to me. Also installed the rubber around the gas cap & license plate...forgot I even had that part in a box! The bumper will be replaced within a few months. Can't find the rubber inserts/cushions anywhere, so they'll just be pulled from the current and glued on to the new bumper.
Thanks for sharing this. I see they have the pieces that attach to the taillight assemblies! https://replica-plastics.com/product/be-74-rrf-rear-right-filler/ One of my quarter panel extensions is starting to crack...good to options for a replacement.
I just did the tank on the '73 last year along with all the fuel lines. I had started a thread somewhere on here about it, never did post the finished pics, I'll try to get those up this weekend. I imagine the '76 is similar to the '73 so if you have any questions, let me know. Getting the new straps on was a major pain. I know I had to get a little creative with the strap bolts. Use floor jack and piece of wood to keep the tank in place.
@6769RIV Have you seen this tank for 66 to 70 Riviera? https://bestoffercounts.com/product...s-tank-fuel-tank-66-67-68-with-fill-neck-new/
Just one question,not related to your problem.It states that its been delivered to Hicksville,NY,11801.That's where I love and I have been with Buicks for many years.I live just down from the High School.Bruno.
I see what you mean about the '74 and gas tank. I am going to assume that the main (probably only) difference between all the gas tanks from '71-'76 B/C bodies is the filler neck to accommodate the slight differences in rear bumpers.
