Vacuum Tank Restoration

Hi,
I need info on restoring a vacuum tank.
Does anyone have the index reference to the article in Skinned Knuckles magazine?
Regards,
Bill Boudway

There isn't much to them. Open it up, clean everything and replace the two gaskets and it may work fine. Mine does.

Re: Vacuum Tank Restoration

There are several other items you should look at. There are two springs that should be replaced and check the flapper at the bottom of the inner tank. Also check the vac. line from the intake manifold to make sure you do not have a leak.
Have a great day

Re: Vacuum Tank Restoration

The 1928 Dyke's Auto manual has excellent info on trouble shooting the Stewart vacuum tanks.
