Gas Tank ID
Hey there,
I bought this gas tank the other day for my project. I was told by the seller that it is model T. Not sure if that's the case or not. Hoping someone here can set me straight, and maybe point me to a source for a gas cap, and how to remove/repair the "gauge" in the tank. Thanks! J |

I don't think it is factory for the model T.

Re: Gas Tank ID
Not model . Model T take has a female thread on the filler tube and no gas gauge. If you can find a cap for the filler neck, it probably can be used.

Re: Gas Tank ID
The filler bung with external bayonet lugs is not common in the modern era. The only caps I've seen of that style are for waste water connections but they are larger than that. It may be difficult to source a cap for that type of bung.

Re: Gas Tank ID
So I'm moving ahead with this tank. I cleaned it out, gave it a first coat of paint, cleaned up the float gauge and put on a new poly float bobber, and made some mounting brackets to put it on. I'll hold it to the mounts with straps and clamps. Still trying to decide if I try to make a cap for it, or if I just run a hose off the fill port and put a cap on the panel above the trunk. Either way, I think it will work out well.

Re: Gas Tank ID
It is a great gas tank for a speedster or race car or track car.

Re: Gas Tank ID
Dodge Brothers used the cap that mounted with the 3 bumps on the filler neck for a short time in the later 1920's before going to the normal bayonet style. Those caps are rare and somewhat hard to find, don't know if that tank is Dodge but if it's not, would make the search even harder.
The pickup tube was used with a vacuum fuel pump which is why it was on top. Kept the end of the tube out of the muck on the bottom.
