I'd installed one for a client about two years ago. Fit was perfect.

Re: 41 ford stock gas tank replacement car (Dennis Carpenter)
Veeder, will the Carpenter tank accept the OEM gas tank sending unit?

That's something I can't recall. I want to say "no".

Veeder , Remember, only the stock gas tank sending unit will work accurately with the stock gauge.

Re: 41 ford stock gas tank replacement car (Dennis Carpenter)
If the 41 DC tank fit is similar to their version for the 46-48 models, there are a couple of issues. The sender does indeed need an adapter for the mounting screws. In addition, the hole for the sender itself is TOO SMALL. Be prepared to modify the tank to install the sender.
Carpenter is the only house that I found that offers a replacement tank with the pickup in the stock location. Other than having to mess with the physical opening and tossing the sender gasket provided (complete leaker), I have been satisfied.

Re: 41 ford stock gas tank replacement car (Dennis Carpenter)
This is absolutely crazy that not one vendor can offer a repo gas tank and sender. THAT IS CORRECT WHAT AM I MISSING!!! Rediculius

Re: 41 ford stock gas tank replacement car (Dennis Carpenter)
Baffled me as well. Apparently the most common "restoration" involves aftermarket senders and an electric fuel pump.
Sorta separately, all the sellers describe these as 17 gallon tanks. And they can be if you are prepared to spew three of those gallons on the ground.

Re: 41 ford stock gas tank replacement car (Dennis Carpenter)
Fritz, be sure to keep track of the accuracy of your fuel gauge reading at e. 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and FULL and let us know how many gallons are remaining in tank at each gauge mark, not just at E and FULL. I will be surprised your after market sending unit "works" accurately with your OEM gauge throughout its range of motion. Hope I am wrong.
