The Ford Barn - View Single Post - 1929 Model A Fordor gas tank removal issue

I can't figure how to upload images but my tank that I removed from a fordor 40 years ago is identical to your photos. It is not a part of the cowl but just drops down out of the cowl. The ring on the outside is just part of the filler and is actually smaller than the hole in the cowl so just work with it as it should come out of there. Mine had a square piece of material between the cowl and tank at the filler area and looked as though it had been quickly smeared with something black to give a little separation between the entire top of the tank and the cowl. The tank had a mid 29 date on it as I remember.
