    Re: Gas tank identification

    Bill,

    I have been waiting for someone else who might have more information to respond but since it doesn't seem like anyone is going to weigh in, I will.

    It appears that this may be a '53-55 tank. Do you believe otherwise?

    The reason I ask this is because of the following.

    I have a '54 but it came without a tank and I have not purchased one for it. My '57 and '61 tanks have the OL Anderson logo on top and have the opening for the sender offset from the center. The tank you show has the opening in the center and no OL Anderson logo. It also does not have the vent opening which was on later Vette tanks. Since the tanks listed for '56 and up are not cited as fitting the '53-55, I understand the the earlier tanks were probably smaller. The earlier tanks cost more and thus must have some differences from the '56 and up tanks or '54 owners would use the '56 tank.

    Do you not believe this is a '54 tank?

    Charles

      Thanks for your input. Yes indeed I think that it is a 54 tank, or more accurately a 53-55 tank. The main reason for thinking this however is rather weak, namely that it came with my 54 when I bought it several years ago, along with some other parts that were 54 items. I too was surprised by the lack of forum comments, especially after I went through the frustrating process of learning how to post a picture. Maybe it was a bad time of year, or perhaps there are only a very few who have any interest in these early cars. Thanks for you comments.
