Well, it would appear on this 97-98 degree very hot day that my '55 Clipper Super vapor locked on me on the interstate at about 60 mph. Never happened before on any of my Packards, not even my warm running '53 Clipper Deluxe. But as it was hesitating I was able to flip on the priming electric pump and it settled out. But I got off the interstate and took back roads home for about 15 miles. Then less than a mile from home turf as I approached the top of a hill, it hesitated and shut down on me before going over the top even with the electric pump on. Started right up and managed to limp home where it idled ok. Checked both filters I have on the car and only a small amount of debris and I would not expect much over the years at all because the tank was renued with the coating in it a few years back. The transparent filter had some discoloration but very little residue in the bottom. My Hudson Super Wasp did a similar thing a couple weeks ago but that isn't anything new for it. And my brother's '56 Lincoln Premiere had to have the primer pump activated on several of the last few outings. The gas must really be getting bad now and they all advertise up to 10% ethanol. Anyone else experience any vapor locking?

OK, mine measures 30" (32" outside flange) x 18" (20" outside flange) x 9". So the '37 is 6" longer. But knowing this and with the photos will help me work this out and determine additional options.

I'm with you BK. B4 I paid a $1k, I'd just use a 10-gallon boat tank in the trunk. My Packard ain't no concours trailer queen but an infrequently driven car I like to enjoy time to time and I am confident in the gas tank renu process having had three done (all on Packards, never any of the other orphans). I can appreciate craftsmanship but then I have to look at practicality.

My friend Keith sent me an email with this prior forum posting. Have to find out the cost.

The '37 looks very much like the '41 120 picture, certainly different from mine.

I'm going to avoid removing the dash. That did that on a '51 Frazer and it was no fun getting it back on. If I can find a gauge rather cheaply, I'll just hang it up under the dash for once-in-a-while looksee. I did clean the sending unit real well, but get no response from it all with a voltmeter. When I got the car the dash gauge would stick on 1/2. This car was converted to 12V, so unsure the effect of that. That's very useful information on the two different tanks.

That tank looks a little different than mine. My pickup tube/sending unit is on the front on a slight slope whereas it appears yours is back on the tank and even (hard to see it) attached with screws? Your looks longer than mine but that just might be the photo angle.

Whoa! Mine just has about 1.5" of metal tube extended to where the hose connects with a hose clamp. Yours indeed looks very difficult to maneuver around the frame pieces. And the metal tube looks longer than my hose + tube length. Mine does not reach all the way up to the filler door but is recessed some. Both sending unit and gauge on mine are faulty and while the sending unit/pickup tube combo is available by exchange, it is I think $175 or more. The gauge I just do not see me under that dash wiht the clutch pedal in my neck trying to remove it.

The '41 tank is quite easy to remove.
1. Disconnect the sending unit wire and hose from the pickup tube mounted in the same plate on the front of the tank and this can be done without removing the tank first. The plate is held in by rotating the holder on top CCW and this is done by lightly tapping on one of the three raised edges with a blunt object until it rotates enough to clear the little flanges it catches under.
2. Disconnect the 2.5" O.D. filler tube hose at the tank and just pull the filler tube out or aside.
3. I put a jack under the tank with a pad and eased it up to just barely touch the tank.
4. Then I believe it is 9/16" (might be 1/2, but pretty sure it is 9/16) wrench to loosen the two strap bolts nuts at the rear, keeping them loosened the same amount all the way until the tank begins to drop onto the padded jack.
5. Then slide the tank out.
6. Actually one of the easiest I have hed to remove among several.

With the uncertainty of something else fitting, I'm just going to send it off and have it renued and be done with it; never have to worry about it again in my lifetime. I've looked on several websites and in several catlogs and just could not come up with anything. I think it would be easier with a '51-56 and I know Keith from up Nashville way retrofitted some kind of tank to his Executive years ago.
