I've recently managed to get my hands on an original 1977 Deavinson Sprint fuel tank, the long tear drop type with the brass shut off tap. I've been advised by a couple of people not to use it on my Sprint because the modern day fuels will react with it in some way and may cause engine/carb problems.
Does anybody know what type of problems i may experience if i use it ? Will an in line fuel filter cure the possibility of future problems ? There are copies on ebay but they are Ł165 each !!

I'd love to be able to use the original but don't want to risk any DNF or engine failures. Any advice guys ?
Thanks
