Classic/Antique Car Repair: fuel tank installation, fuel tank installation, good luck jack
QuestionI'm helping a friend assemble a basket '30 Model A 2-door sedan. How does the fuel tank install to prevent water leakage in the car? Does something go between the tank/cowl and the receiving edges of the body? Is there an illustration for doing this? I appreciate your help and thanks.

AnswerThe best thing you can do is follow the instructions shown in the Model A Mechanic's Handbook that we all have and use. About $35 from MARC or any of the parts suppliers. Get vol 1, the red one. It has a big section on the tank. There is welting between the tank and body.
You should have this book anyway. It will help you with a lot of things.
Good luck
