Re: Auto City Classics 1951-1956 Packard OE Finish Steel Gas Tank TS5156PKQ

I have one too that I've not yet installed into my 1956 Clipper Custom so have been following this thread with interest and also following the one where the bung came loose. Before I purchased I asked if it needed to be sealed and was told that it needn't be but that it could be done if desired. I've not yet decided but may end up doing so as I have plenty of sealer.

As for the sender, one from a 1957 Thunderbird and a few other Fords of the era is the same other than possibly needing some adjustments to the arm length.

On another Packard, it has a dead gauge but the tank is grounded so either the sender or the regulator/gauge has gone bad but I've not had time to diagnose it yet. If the sender, I would never ever consider cutting an access hole into the trunk floor for something I will likely never had to access again. It makes no sense to do that as removing the tank is very easy.

The diagram posted seems odd but I’ve not looked much at my Clipper’s system either. I was unaware that vacuum lines ran to the control knob as I thought the valving was in the motor and controller by a cable as it is in my 1951-1954 Packards.

I have a Motor’s Manual up at my shop but had forgotten that it had the chart. To add to what Howard said, there were also supposed to be fiber washers under the bolt heads which precludes tightening them much so the bolts have holes for wiring them in place which I have never done. The arm on the photo that Howard posted is of an earlier design but essentially has the same shape.

The pump for your car has an arm something like this.

I can't reference the number but I can tell by looking at it that the arm is totally different and far longer than that on a 1953. The pump itself might work but not the arm!

In the Packard Parts Book, it is also often used for liquid items such as brake fluid to indicate the same thing: a variable or non-specific volume.

I have one from a 120 with the open end having gotten damaged so could easily be cut down to the shorter 110 length. I don't know if the hood ornament holes are the same, though, as the car it was from was a 1901A so had a senior ornament. Surely you can fine one for your car without resorting to cutting a longer one but I would love to know the length of a 110's and the ornament holes' spacing so that I can fix this one for 110 use.

Maybe you can post a list when completed of which new pieces you used and where they go! Either that or, as you said, put together some kits. I for one could use one or two.

The trim piece is the actual hinge and of course, there are different ones depending on model. Is yours a 110?

Interesting thread and from what I gathered in reading the various comment, the answer is no, it was not an option but just about anything could be done on special order.
