Default Gas Tank ID

Hey there,
I bought this gas tank the other day for my project. I was told by the seller that it is model T. Not sure if that's the case or not. Hoping someone here can set me straight, and maybe point me to a source for a gas cap, and how to remove/repair the "gauge" in the tank.
Thanks!
J

I don't think it is factory for the model T.

Not model . Model T take has a female thread on the filler tube and no gas gauge. If you can find a cap for the filler neck, it probably can be used.

The filler bung with external bayonet lugs is not common in the modern era. The only caps I've seen of that style are for waste water connections but they are larger than that. It may be difficult to source a cap for that type of bung.

A bit more detail. I was able to remove the gauge from the tank, and also found that there is a pickup tube going to the bottom of the tank.
