Re: Big gas leak when refueling my 1939 Conv. Sedan

I will check the fuel guage fitting but is there anyplace else that could be the source of a big leak only at the top of the tank? What about where the fuel line exits? Is there an air vent there?

Big gas leak when refueling my 1939 Conv. Sedan

I am getting a big fuel leak out of the top of my gas tank when refueling. It stops after a short time. It is not the filler pipe. My question is how do I remove the gas tank to see what is going on?

Re: 1935 convertible sedan and 35 plane

Interesting that the pace car at Indianapolis in 1935 was a Ford Convertible Sedan and Amelia Earhart was photographed in it. That may be part of the airplane story. Jim in San Jose.

Re: Temp gauge

There is a guy in Vermont, I think, that restored my original temp gauge. He did a very nice job for about $100. He only works on originals not repros. Jim in San Jose
