I installed a polypropylene tank made by TANKS Inc. in my 40 Ford about 10 years ago. I think it holds 2 more gallons. The biggest problem was that the stock 40 gas tank sending unit could not be used because the bolt holes in the tank didn't match the holes in the OEM tank. Plus, TANK's tank does not work on gravity feed like the OEM. A separate TANKS pick up unit must be used and fuel line rerouted. Also ran a separate ground wire from sending unit to frame, Plus the plastic tank does not have a drain plug like the oem. I made one. Also, the larger size of the plastic tank places it closer to the exhaust pipe. Additionally, if you want you 36 to look stock a plastic tank doesn't come close.

My advice is to stick with a steel 1936 Ford tank that matches the stock unit so that everything fits as it should with no hassle. The 2 extra gallons of gas isn't worth all the trouble and you will have to use a 12V gauge and matching sending unit.

Be sure to get feedback from someone who has already installed a plastic tank in their 1935 or 36 Ford.
