I would have sworn that I had typed up a reply to this, but if I did, I hit the back button instead of the submit button.


So it appears that there are, basically, two sizes of petrol tanks: the SWB version at 17 gallons and the LWB version at 20 gallons. Got it. I have a LWB tank out of a super, so measuring that will be easy. I can take a SWB tank out of either the Deluxe coupe or the 6 coupe. Then we can compare notes.


But it sounds like the 20 gallon version is more what we'll want to know about to see how easily bathtub tanks will swap into Clippers. My gut says, they should.


All my cars are Clippers, and I have a variety of them, so I should be able to get some definitive measurements for each tank size/type.


Just don't hold your breath. I'm going west next month for a car show but my other days are filling fast. I may have a tractor to take delivery of.
