Technical I need a gas tank for my '29 Dodge

No one makes one, well one guy quoted $750, + 250-300 if I want baffling...
I don't think so!

It's a simple oval type thing, looks like a big muffler.
has anyone made their own like this? I can weld and do some metal work, but i'm not great at it.
I have a cheap bead roller, played with it a little.

Its 13" deep, 9" tall 33" wide. ALMOST model A size but has different filler locations.

I also want to put in an in tank fuel pump.





Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Keith

 

Looks real similar to a early Ford Model T. HRP

 

You might talk to a sheet metal man who makes duct work etc. He should be able to make a tank like that out of galvanized steel.

If you can weld and do metal work I don't see what is holding you back. It is not that complicated of a tank.

I don't see what is wrong with the old one.

 

Try tanks Inc. For a possible alternative.

 

Speedway has the round black poly tanks in 10 x 30 for about $100

 

What's wrong with your tank? HRP

 

I just might make one. I've just learned to ask before doing something new The model T ones are close, but I'd have to hack them up to get the filler in the right place. Seems easier to just make my own. Then I can use stainless and still be cheaper.

Seems like the end caps are the hardest part.

The tank pictured isn't mine, thats the only thing wrong with it

thought about the HVAC guy.. still thinking...

The tank sits under the rear of the car, the black poly one would be great if it fit

 

Snyders has one for a 1920-25 oval shaped for $150 , maybe you can make it work.

 

I bet that Rottenleonard could make you up exactly what you need.
