Do all 1930-31 gas tanks fit the 1931 Slant Windshield Sedan or are the SW gas tanks somewhat different? Flat firewall SW.

Also: Are the 30-31 Model A hoods also all the same and will work on the 31 SW?

Thanks in advance for answering my question. California Charlie

Depends on when it was made, normal under tank shut off inside the car, or later indented firewall with the shut off under the hood. Bob

There are two S/W gas tanks. One is the model used up to the middle of 1931. From about the middle of 1931 there is the "indended firewall" tank.
With the shut off valve on the engine side of the firewall.
