Brendan M. 0 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I am trying to remove the gas tank on my '39 Ford woody and am starting to think the car was built around the tank and it can't be removed. I've disconnected everything, removed the fuel filler, removed the pads that go between the tank and frame, disconnected the wire to the top of the tank. I've moved it every which way I can but can't get close to getting it out. Any advice? Link to post Share on other sites
46 woodie 825 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Brendan, I don't have a '39 as yours, my Woodie is a 1946 Ford and I have removed my gas tank fairly easy. I can't imagine Ford building a car that won't allow the removal of the gas tank. Can you post a few pictures? Link to post Share on other sites
Brendan M. 0 Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 Not sure if these pics will be helpful. Still cannot figure out how to get this tank out. Any help is greatly appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites
Rexville48 0 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Brendan, On a 37 passenger car, the gas tank filler neck is connected to the tank with a sleeve that unscrews allowing the metal neck to be removed. Once the neck is removed, the tank will slide to one side with barely enough clearance to allow it to drop between the frame rails. Since I’m not a Ford guy You might want to search the FordBarn because the process for a 39 may be similar. Mike Link to post Share on other sites
Brendan M. 0 Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 Thanks. I have a ‘35 Ford sedan and that has a filler neck that screws in but my ‘39 wagon does not. It’s fixed in place. Link to post Share on other sites
