  • For one year only in 1972 Porsche moved the oil tank forward to under the right rear fender to try and improve the rear engine handling characteristics. When they did this they added a oil filler door above the tank on the rear fender. Problem was this looked just like a gas tank which caused quite a few people to add gas to their oil tank and destroy their engine so for 1973 Porsche moved the oil tank back. A few years later they tried again and moved the oil tank back to under the fender but smartly they added a long tube to the tank from the oil filler cap in the rear so it wouldn’t be mistaken any more.
