Hello. I just purchased a 1970 914-4 and it isn't running right now. I'm going to run a compression test but first I'm draining the gas and oil. I already drained the oil, but now I need to get the gas tank out of the car and disconnect all of the fuel lines. Does anyone have experience with this? Also, I've heard that 914s often suck valves when they go. Is this true? What are some other things I should check for to make it run? Thanks a lot, and by the way, this looks like a great resource as I try to restore my first Porsche.

And I'd disconnect the battery to avoid any sparks. Empty tank more explosive than a full one. But empty is lighter. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
