mack l model Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 OK so this guy has this flat bed that he wants to restore. It needs a lot of work. Please do not laugh but I am having trouble finding where the gas tank or tanks are located. The carb is on the right side of engine and the fuel piump is on the left. Any ideas ??Also if any body knows of a whole truck on a parts truck close to NJ please let me know.

Mike Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Since you gave no year of the truck, it would be difficult. But some vehicles had them between the firwall and dash. Some are under the step.I took a Scientific Guess......help me here someone!!!!mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25556-lf-with-en-471-gas-motor-question/#findComment-123043 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmerrill0516 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Ah if all else fails follow the fuel line from the carb back to it's origin...just a thought. I swear I'm not laughing even a little bit.Sorry...

mack l model Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 Sorry it is a 1946. The fuel line goes from the carb on the right side across the front of the motor to the left ( drivers side ) to the fuel pump. It looks like a copper line. After it leaves the fuel pump it is like a plastic line if that is possible ??

BOB DINGSDALE Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Should be under passanger seat or an outside tank.But!!! somebody may have removed under seat one to fit a frame mounted one on and it also may have been removed.should be a hole on right side of cab where filler spout was if it had underseat tank.Bob D Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25556-lf-with-en-471-gas-motor-question/#findComment-123050 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxfymn Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Have you written to the Mack Museum with the chassis number to ask for the history of the truck? If it was ordered with a special fuel tank it will show up in the documentation. Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

mack l model Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 Yes I have written and got that information from the Mack Museum but I gave it to the owner. Under the passenger seat ( if there was one ) looks like an air tank for thea air brakes. No holes on the side of the cab that I can see.Do you think there will be any LF models at the Macungie show this year ??
