Stewart Fuel Vacuum Tank Parts Info

[TerryB]

There is often threads about Stewart vacuum fuel tanks and their repair or operation.  I've attached photos of a page from a June 1922 auto replacement parts catalog that shows the tank parts and what model tanks used them.  Perhaps it will help those trying to keep the tanks operating.  Sorry, the parts ordering prices no longer apply!

Sadly there does`nt appear to be many illustrations of the Kingston unit, nevertheless excellent presentation on this one.

This may be posted elsewhere, but the attached photos show the top and bottom thread sizes for a model 216-O Stewart Vacuum Tank.  I believe other Stewart vacuum tanks with the same top have the same threads.  If your top is cracked,  you can get an aluminum reproduction from this company in Australia.  Not cheap but nice, quality work.  (I am not affiliated with this company but I did purchase a top for a different tank I was restoring).  Also, Hal at at Classic Preservation sells rebuild kits.
