Re: 1951 gas tanks

One more kick to the unfortunate horse, today I was trying to figure out the difference between the passenger car tank and the Henney tank but see none. Of course, the 1951 Henney tank is still installed in the car but climbing under and taking rough measurements, it looks identical down to the size, fuel line connection and filler/vent tubes. I guess I'll need to remove it to see for sure if anything is different in the sender.

However, it is not even close to square. I didn't note on paper the dimensions today but both the 300 1951 tank and the 1951 Henney tank are about 3' wide to about 25" the other way, measuring very roughly by eye. Here are several photos of the 300 tank and a photo of the installed Henney tank.

The tank is almost square at roughly 25 1/2" and I read it to be almost 9" deep.
