Model A gas tank

Anyone how many gallons a stock 31 coupe cowl gas tank holds?

 

Thinking its like 8-10.
Can't peg it at the moment.

 

I believe that it is about 9 gallon...

 

Limeworks, Whittier had an 18 gallon tank installed behind my seat w electric fuel pump on my 31 A...

 

I can't quite put 10 in mine on empty. I never looked in the ford book to see but Uncle Henry would probably say 10 gallions.

 

I've got an 18.5 gallon in the trunk of 31 Coupe.

 

A Chopped Coupe - NICE!

 

My stock tank will hold about 9.5 gals.

 

Havent checked for a while but I believe Henry listed it as an 11 Gal tank. Ice man

 

WOW, that's beautiful man, thats what i'm trying to achieve in my trunk .. the one we have mocked up will hold 12 gallons , any pics of that job in progress?

 

That's correct!

 

RoccoATX,

Sorry, didn't take any pictures, maybe on the next one. It is stainless, with baffles. I didn't want it to come up further because I'd like to put some small stuff in the rumble.
I'll hunt for pictures of it out of the car.

Pinstripingbygato,

Thanks for the compliment.

 

I just looked at one of my Model A books "How to Restore Your Model A", Volume 5 and it listed the Model A gas tank capacities as:

1928-1929 10 gallons
1930-1931 11 gallons

 

A Chopped , your tank install is exactly the same as mine, looks awesome..

 

It's 11 gallons....when driving to Bonneville this past August, I was traveling on RT 80 West from SLC. My gas gauge was bouncing off zero when I pulled into the gas station at the truck stop entering Wendover. When I looked into the tank, I could barely see the gas on the bottom of the tank. I pumped in 10.9 gallons. Couldn't have been more than a pint left. I had a couple of gallons in the trunk, but I wasn't going to stop until she quit.

 

Rocco, I will be at my build tomorrow and will get pics for you..

 

They say the stock cowl tank is 10 gallons, but realistically it is between 9 to 9.5 depending on the years....28-29 and 30-31.
