The fuel tank on my B has gotten pretty leaky. Has been patched with JB in the past and red-koted, too. Still leaking at anything over 1 gallon or so. Not sure where to go from here. Will a tank from a CA fit on my B? Both are from the early to mid 50s. Any good sources for reproduction tanks (?) ------------- Chris in NE Florida |

| Any B/C/CA gas tank with a strap fastener on the top rear of the tank is a direct replacement any way you go. No Reproductions are being made. |

As long as both tanks have the strap with bolt on the back, the CA tank will fit on your B or C. A B or C tank will NOT fit on a CA becasue the starter switch on a CA needs an indent on the bottom of the tank.

On a side note, in would be profitable for someone to make plastic or resin replacement tanks becasue I easily get $100 for a used B/C/CA tank on ebay (in great shape)

| I saved a real bad tank for my C with fiberglass mat. I sanded the tank to bare metal, then cut strips of mat, soaked them in resin on a plastic bag over a plank, laid the strips on the tank tight without over lap. when cured I sanded smooth, then coated with a thin coat of bondo. (I put a small amount of the resin in the bondo mix) I then sanded, primed and painted. That was about six years ago. |

Jump over to the YT Site, Allis Chalmers in Classified Ads, Pictures. A fella named Paul in Wentzville, MO parts out the B, C and CA specifically and lists many available parts. Have bought from him previously and he is a straight shooter. Any of his ads (he usually runs many) will have his contact info and this guy deals in plenty of parts. Tim |

| actually the top mounted hand operated starter switch makes the dent on the bottom of the gas tank necessary on the CA AND late Bs and IBs |

Instead of bring up an old thread, go to the classified section and make a new post. You'll probably get a quicker response if anybody has one for sale. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

Gafry Most of this Post is about 4 years old. I think you would be better off starting a New post in the Classified Section with a Subject Wanted-Gas Tank for a 'C' G |
