georgealbrightg Posted July 23, 2005 Author Share Posted July 23, 2005 I have no idea! But when you look at the tank., you will see it it EXACTLY like other Model T oval tanks! Sincerely George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layden B Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 A filler neck like that would stick up thru the upholstery and give the passenger quite a ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest carlnut50 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 I doubt if this is an auto gas tank because copper reacts with gasoline and creates some really nasty green sludge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Gas cap looks to be mid 1920's Cadillac, the sediment bulb appears to be a T Ford item. All brass era T Gas tanks were round, not oval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgealbrightg Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 It looks exactly like several tanks I have seen under the seat of a model T. However the neck does seem quite high for being under the seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
