Work on My F8, No. 11

Brian Asbury ( CMP parts dealer in Toronto ? ) at one time , had the Ford type plate that sits atop the tank with the reserve tap and fuel gauge sending unit hole . I bought one from him years ago. I'll never use it as I ended up with a correct Chev one later on ( got this from D. Ballard of MCC and F15 fame ).

Like u I have one original tank, the other is a dummy ,I was going to make another tank, but never got around to it , hence my interest in finding the top plate .

From memory the Ford version is a die cast alloy and the Chev is brass affair . They have different setup for each style of fuel gauge sender unit .

You could probably modify an existing standard CMP tank , remove the filler neck and relocate it . But even the normal tanks are very difficult to find these days .
