Steve Seguin Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Good day, I have recently acquired a 1929 Oldsmobile F29 Landau Deluxe. It is an older restoration by a gentleman who once ran a Chev/Olds dealership in a small town in Ontario, Canada. It had been sitting for about 9 years so I removed the gas tank to clean out any dirt or rust. The previous owner had rebuilt the tank using galvanized sheet metal but it still was rusty inside. I plan to send the tank out to be sand blasted and sealed. The sending unit is the fluid type as is the fuel guage on my dash. I don't know if it can be salvaged or if a replacement is available. Any suggestions on a way forward would be appreciated. Presently I have only one fuel line going from the tank to the engine compartment. If you are familiar with this setup I could use some guidance. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 www.antiqueolds.org and search for 1928-30 advisors. I would think between Butch, Phil and Rick someone will have an idea or know who does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Seguin Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 Thanks for the leads. I have "googled" fluid gas tank sending units as well as searching many gas tank web sites and have hit dead ends. I will try these leads and hopefully get some insight.
