Default Minimum amount of gas in 1932 tank.

I am burning off some older gas that is in my 32 Coupe. The car is running fine. How low should I let the level get before adding fresh gas? I will stick the tank. Ed

Well have a gallon of gas with you and let it run out. That said, lots of people will say don't have a can of gas in the car.
That said, the lower you can get it the more it is diluted with the good stuff when you add it.
Why not get a gallon of good stuff, syphon out the bad stuff and add the fresh stuff and go and fill up.
This shouldn't be too hard to sort out.

The most reliable gas gas gauge ever, a ruler or something comparable, but only on '32s and some '33-'34s as once the filler tube is curved it's not an option.


The tank holds 14 gallons, getting it down to one or two gallons should be enough.

Hi Ed,


I'd drain it all out and use the old gas for my lawn mower.
