Don Garrett Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 looking for some direction... I dont think the tank is salvageable. Are there any out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60ch Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Don, Can you post a picture of the tank? Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFeeney Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I would post this on the Buick page. Being a Buick club member would allow you to advertise for free in the Magazine looking for one. Exchanging/ rebuilding your gas tank would be money well spent. You don't want to burn down your garage or your family up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmTee Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 The good news is it appears to be a pretty simple design if you need to have a new one fabricated. I wonder how close it is to a Model T tank... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 The 1927 Standard tank I bought to replace the slighty leaking 1925 tank was about as bad or worse than yours. But the holes were on the top and pretty much like swiss cheese. I would have to find the photo the shop took of the before and after. Really bad! A LOT of solderd up holes and a lot of lead on that unit before internal coating. I would have had my 1925 tank redone at the time but I bought the 1927 tank because it had a complete gas gage unit. Mine was missing in the 1925 as the previous owner had removed the bezel with a pipe wrench and crushed the tower and threads. Replacing the the now broken bezel and replacing the glass with plastic and a lot of sealer. My 1925 style gage now. I see you have the remote cable drive unit. What the internal float unit looks like on mine. Not done in the best fasion but at least I have a working gage. And accurate ...... to a gallon or 2!

Hubert_25-25 Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Consider sending your tank to someone like Don Hart for rebuilding and lifetime lining. That may be your most inexpensive option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
