Brass Gas Tank for ?????

[TN2Lane]

Okay, it's obviously a brass gas tank. Can anyone identify what it came from?<img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Measurements are 25" x 14" x 10", which works out to 16 gallons capacity. The main cap has a distinctive "Gasoline" script, there's a smaller secondary cap either for venting or inserting a gauge, and there's an unusual petcock built into the tank.

Are you sure the tank is brass? It looks like it is copper.

That's the lovely patina. I polished spots on the ends and main body, and it's definitely brass.

Fire truck, maybe ?

Very nice tank, Welcome to the Forum! At first glance it looks European, have you measured any of the hardware or checked the thread pitch? <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

If you have interest in selling the tank, please let me know.

Thanks
