Re: Gas tank question
Kelly. I had a fuel problem with my '46 Coupe, and found a wonderful surprise when I removed the fuel sender from my tank. The previous owner had used red rubber for a gasket, and a bunch of it deteriorated and fell into the tank. The pieces caused a restriction in the fuel pickup line in the bottom of the tank. Assuming your '47 is similar, lift the floor liner in the trunk, remove the cover that is held in place by one screw, and that exposes the fuel sender. Disconnect the sender wire and isolate it with tape (don't want any sparks if you turn the key on). Remove the sender, and look over to the left at the bottom of the tank, and you will see the fuel pickup tube. That was where a piece of rubber was stuck in my case.
