Re: 52-6 Fuel tanks

The shop manual specs show 20 gal. for all chassis in 51, as well as 52-54 - INCLUDING all commercial chassis. Even the 51 Owner's Manual shows 20 gal. for 200, 300, and 400 models.

However, the parts book shows same P/N for all 51 chassis EXCEPT commercial. That one appears to be a throwback to 48. Also, there's a different strap listed for all commercial chassis, 51-54, which suggests a different shape for those cars.

Curiosuly, the parts book shows list a different tank sending unit for 51 than 52-54, with an analogous situation for commerical chassis, but 51-52 use same dash gauge.

Just more food for thought.
