mikhett Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I just dropped my tank and it was rotted around the sending unit area.Will a 54 ford fit? Are they being repo'ed? Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bungeemerc Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I asked a similar question several weeks ago. After much research I have come to the conclusion a 54 merc gas tank is not being reproduced. I have been told a 54 ford will fit with mods and so will a 56 ford with mods. Both are 17 gal tanks and the merc is 19 gal. I presume your talking about a 2 dr htp.It was suggested I take mine to a radiator shop that repairs tanks. Sure enough I found one that goes over the tank, cleans it, repairs it, and epoxies the inside. All for around $200. Mines is being done now.

keiser31 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 You might try "The Big M" wrecking yard in Williams, California. They are all Mercury all of the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacemoi Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Mikhett, You might question this, but about five years ago I needed a new tank for my 56' Chevy & I went to Auto Zone, much to my amazement I had a repo tank in about 7 days & very reasonable....go figure...Lee (Sacemoi) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest simplyconnected Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 '52, '53 & '54 are the same tank. '55 is different, '56 is different, yet.Obsolete has your tank for sale. I think they want $325, but don't hold me to it. Check out their PDF page:http://www.classicautoparts.com/pdfindex/FULLSIZE/GasTankAndFuelStuff.pdf#page=1Hope this gets you goin'. - Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Merc Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I think I've found a company that will start manufacturing new exact repro's for 54 Mercurys. Production and tooling time could take up to a year. I'll keep interested parties informed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
