Lou Earle Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 After usual cussing fussing and frustrations I removed the gas tank from a 52 plym- as usual there was crud all in it and rusted. However I have another 52 tank(Tim I am using it) in OK shape. However in removing as usual I destroyed the rubber connector to the filler neck anyone got any ideas where to get it look like either 2 1/4 or 2 3/8 pipe diameter- looking at local places with not much luck Also- does the 52 tanks have the little pill in the gas line at the tank to connect the gas line - i have not found one in either tank Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 I think by 52 they were rid of that connection. I bought my hose for the filler from napa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou Earle Posted October 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 you might be right - mine is actyally a 51- I now have the connecting pipe - napa has it and sell it by foot- they had several diameters got one to fit Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm's Coupe Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Lou, The old Fords of the 30's used a rubber seal around the pipe as you describe. Might try an old Ford parts vendor for the seal. Could possibly get the exact size too since the gas caps also fit my 48 Plymouth pipe. Another place to try is Tanks Inc. When I was on their web site awhile back I noticed they also sold the seals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busycoupe Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 You should be able to order the filler tube through your local auto parts place. I bought mine at Carquest. It is made by Gates rubber, and I think it is sold by the foot. Check the Gates website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm's Coupe Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Guess I misunderstood the question. If you want the short piece of hose, as mentioned those can be bought by the foot at any parts house. Got the one for my P15 from Bumper to Bumper.
