Default Re: Warning about c&g

When folks order new tanks for the old Fords, they run into all sorts of problems due to the fact that the sender bungs are set up for the modern stuff more in tune with the street rodder crowd. That right there is a strike against purchase of a tank like this. I'd cut the bung out and modify the tank for an original Hydrostatic type installation like they had back then.

I don't know why the hydrostatic adapter doesn't fit the tank but it doesn't surprise me at all that crap that shouldn't be needed doesn't fit a tank that is improperly manufactured. You can't completely blame the vendors. A lot of vendors sell this crap and they warn you that it's not original. That right there should tell you something. I agree that the right folks at these vendors should be made aware of the problem so they can tack more warnings on to their warnings.
