Is the fuel tank for a 1930 Coupe interchangeable with an INDENTED fire wall fuel tank... In other words , can I install an indented fuel tank in to a 1930 coupe (without a lot of body work).. Please advise. [email protected]. Or. 210-867-3257. Thanks in advance....jay

The tank will bolt in place. You just need to do something about the outlet of the tank and how to attach a shut off valve and fuel line and strainer.

If you change the firewall to a late 31 indented firewall or modify your present firewall by adding the indent, everything will work.

It seems easier to me to find a good 30-E31 tank, but that was not your question.

Yes, the late tank of indented firewall vintage will fit into 1930 and early 1931 Model As. There is a factory service bulletin explaining the process
