I ordered an OEM gas tank for my year 2/1970 which only has the fill and vent tubes. FSM, all diagrams, and new tank for my year confirm this design.
Old tank:
Filler and vent tube:
New OEM tank!
But when I went to tear apart my seats to refurbish them I was surprised to find this:
No gas smell and air flowed freely through all of the lines like it was never hooked up...
So Toyota either put them in regardless of being used or my front split seat is not original? Maybe my year was an in between design change?
I will probably keep the tank as is and just use the vented gas cap, but had I seen the Evap tank ahead of time I might have gotten the proper year to match and piped it in. What year tank would have been the first year to use this Evap system?
