Good question. May or may not work. I had a Fiat X 1/9 years ago. The expansion tank was brass or copper. Known weakness. It failed with a small pinhole right on the bottom like the Porsche ones do. Would have to be made non magnetic so the low level switch would work though.

Monty,

I also had several X1/9's and really love them, but grew older (and heavier) and do not longer fit comfortably in it.

The expansion tank on the X1/9 that you are talking about are made of stainless steel and worked great! Still have one somewhere on my garage

Was yours a replacement? Mine I'm sure was brass, turned a nice moss green where the hole formed. Don't think SS would have corroded. But yes that was a really fun car to drive.
