Re: Fuel tank neck basket removal
If you have the threaded style, buy the tool and put it on your impact driver, that worked very well for me. Tried extension bar on socket
would not budge. |

Re: Fuel tank neck basket removal
I’ve had two different Model A’s for over 20 years, and neither came with that screen, and I’ve never felt the need for one…..very easy to fill up. I’ve also never heard of an incident involving a Model A without one.

Re: Fuel tank neck basket removal
It has a lot to do with static on adding gas also
To remove the screw-in type you do need the special tool (easy to make or buy) and a bit of Kroil or other penetrating lube Last edited by Oldbluoval; 11-08-2021 at 06:55 AM. |

Re: Fuel tank neck basket removal
Some of the part sources have a filler extension that screws on to early tanks or twist locks on to late ones. This filling extension may work for that. They extend up about 2-inches above the bung. This link has an example.

Re: Fuel tank neck basket removal
In the Model A days, pumps did not pump at the rate they do today. So the blow back was not like today.
I’m old enough to recall such but never recall visible pumps! |

This is a model picture of a hand pumped to the glass tank above that gravity flowed gas to the vehicle. Very little back pressure. These type pumps were used in the 20's, 30's and early 40's. I remember as a kid in the 30's that gas was sold by the gallon, (even cents, no .9) for 10 cents per gallon.

Re: Fuel tank neck basket removal
While on maneuvers in rural France in 61, our convoy of ten trucks stopped at a glass pump at a farmers house. Took him a while to fill all vehicles, with that hand pump, but he had a big smile on his face

Quench limit. A flamefront will not pass through small openings, because energy is lost to the side walls therefore extinguishing the flames. The necessary dimensions depend on temperature, side wall material, fuel and oxidiser, of course. This is a standard device for instance in gas burner systems with pre-mix burners... |
