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.
To quote myself above, the tank I have is definitely from a 1951 300 as I removed it myself but now, a couple weeks back home from my Oregon workshop and not giving it any thought, it suddenly struck me that the car the tank was from did not have a spare wheel well in the trunk. Not sure why as it also never had any indication of ever having a continental kit but it was some kind of a race or endurance car so perhaps a larger Henney tank was added for some reason which may explain why it looks the same as the tank in my 1951 Henney.
