Hi, I need to know the distance from the bottom of the gas tank to the top. Somewhere forward of the fill hole. A VERY close guess will do. I want to install a gas gauge in it. I am tired of walking back to the barn to get it. I can't measure it right now as the 45 is at the farm and I am in town. TIA Ted

I use an Allis fuel gauge to measure fuel before jobs. It's a half a yard stick, which we carry in the tool box for that purpose. If I remember right from the fill cap to the bottom is 13.5 inches, that should give you an approximation for your need. Dipstick In

Dipstick, I checked mine day before yesterday to decide if I should get some gas before the storm. It said 3/4 of an inch, that's about how high my stand pipe is above the inlet hole. Yikes, glad I got her back in the shed last time.
