 Amphicars everything else technical !  

Amphicar dimensions, these are in mm - much easier to work with than those old fashioned inch things !

Fuel tank, 

This is the custom made fuel tank I have in my Amphicar, made of Aluminium with an external filler and all connections at the top. The plumbing in the middle is the fuel vent and there is a catch tank (the bottle !) just in case it's filled with cold fuel which then expands. The external filler is just in front of the screen and behind the washer bottle in the photo. You can't see in the photo but a copper fuel line picks up from the top of the tank and is routed through to the fuel pump.

A great reference here on Silicone brake fluid, we love it ! http://www.buckeyetriumphs.org/technical/Brakes/Fluid/Fluid.htm

A close-up of the transmission showing a few other mods, on the left is the copper fuel line, just below the bilge pickup is the sensor for water level (the smoke alarm trick) On the top of the water trannie is the dipstick I made, very simple, just calibrate it once by removing the plugs and from then on can check oil level in a more conventional way. ( FYI, from the split pin that positions across the top of the filler, the level mark for the water transmission is at 115mm and for land is at 136mm)

A picture of the radio. This is the sort of Blaupunkt that was original equipment on German cars. It is 4 waveband. Below are the "period" depth and speed guages I fitted.
