I have one of their tanks on my '54 and my brother in law has one on his '52. I got mine back in 2020, his was 2023. The two tanks are slightly different. Mine was painted silver, his is bare galvanized steel. The bends on the necks are slightly different, with the newer one being better.

I've had no issues with my tank. The brand new sender I got from them never worked though. Still didn't work after adding a ground, testing the wiring, and replacing the fuel gauge.

My brother in law is the opposite. The new sender works great. But the threaded bung for the fuel line slipped/rotated when tightening the flare for the fuel line. Now it leaks gas. Maybe the bung wasn't crimped hard enough from the factory. Or we tightened the fuel line too much. Either way, that will need to get fixed now. No response from AutoCity Classics.

Overall great tanks and now we'll never have an issue with dirty fuel again. But be mindful of how much force you put on the bungs.
