Re: Auto City Classics 1951-1956 Packard OE Finish Steel Gas Tank TS5156PKQ

All finished. The Auto City Classics tank is nearly identical to my 54 tank. There is evidently a lot of global foundries in Taiwan that make gas tanks for the U.S. market. The sending unit ACC sent did not work, however I did have one from Max Merritt / Kanter on hand. I sprayed Boeshield T-9 on the tank but it was probably unnecessary. I added the ground and cut the hole to the specs provided from the Forum. Almost perfect. The 70 year old cork on the old unit looked decimated and the old tank had some nice sludge in it. The filler neck lined up perfectly. A Gates G37 cap fits as well.
