nice  job on the tri 5  transplant,,,,the question is,,,new or old  tank,,,how long till todays gas  makes rust in a new tank ??

 

the tank you showed on  e bay  is from  tanks inc,  it is  aluminum  coated steel,,,may stand a chance  of surviving todays gas,,,

 

tanks inc has a poly tank for  1936/37/38  plymouths wit ha side fill,,,but says  the mearsurements are way  wider then the  41 to 48  steel tank,,,im going to  do some measureing see if it will fit  my  40...

 

only thing that bugs me is there side fill,,,it bolts on with a flange,,how can  it  not leak ??

The tri-5 tank is new, the 55 and 56 tanks are the same, the 57 tank has an additional pipe for a vent and the fill pipe is on the side of the tank like the Plymouth. The tri-5 uses a fill pipe that has an "O" ring to seal. It's only about 1" deeper than the Plymouth tank and holds 16 gallons. By being more square it allows room on the driver side for dual exhaust. It was an easy fit and I still use my stock Plymouth sender by cutting a hole in the top of the new tank.  :D
