I have a repro tank that came with the car that doesn't have a fuel outlet connection??? Looks like a standard fuel sender outlet hole in the top, but nothing else on the tank! Strangely enough the tank fits just fine on the frame with the filler neck correctly positioned right under the rear panel hole...any ideas?

I am not familiar with 1934's but the fuel sender and fuel outlet are combined in 1932 as one unit. Maybe that is your situation? A couple of phone calls should answer the question. Charlie Stephens This message was edited by CharlieStephens on 8-9-12 @ 12:36 PM

Like Charlie says, I'd make a call. It is possible they have sent you a "street rod" configuration that is intended to use an in-tank pump and gauge. None of the re-pop tanks have their fuel outlets in the stock location however, as Federal laws require a top outlet on all currently produced fuel tanks.

The origin of the tank is long lost as the car was disassembled. However, I looked in Drakes catalog and his 34 tank has the fuel connection showing in the proper location. Anyway, I'll look into the 32 sender unit and see if that will fit. Thanks, guys

A '32 fuel gauge/outlet assembly will not fit a '34 tank. All '32-'35 fuel tanks have the fuel outlet integrated with the hydrostatic fuel gauge works into a single assembly that inserts into the top of the tank. There are fittings for the both the fuel line running forward to the engine compartment and the air line running to the gas gauge on the instrument panel on this tank assembly. It is listed in the '34 Ford chassis parts catalogue (available as an inexpensive reprint) as simply "gauge(fuel tank)" and its part number was 40-9275-B for '34 V-8s.

Thanks for the part number. I assume a good hydrostatic sender/gauge is hard to find? The repro tanks have the fuel outlet connection on the back wall of the tank, so if you use a repro, you switch to an electric gauge setup?
