BobHufford Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Howdy all. Thought I would reach out to the experts for an ID (year, etc) on this fuel tank. Was in my late father-in-law's "stuff". I plan to use it in a new shop/barn I'm building. Thanks -- Bob. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/56678-fuel-tank-id/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I have seen that style used on Mack L and LT models. Age is approx late 40's to early 50's. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

BobHufford Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) Thanks! Now I just need to make it look good again and refurb the pump / fittings. Would the '50' in the serial number indicate 1950 (or is that just a coincidence)?

j hancock Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Could very well be. I recognize the shape of the tank but I never looked to see what the tank number was and then correlate it with the truck. I will see a friends rig in a couple weeks that has the tanks and I will see what the tags show. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

keg1 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 The 50 wouldn't be gallons would it? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/56678-fuel-tank-id/#findComment-420519 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeH Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) Could be, there's a drum behind it but doesn't look big enough to be a 55. Personally I think it's a 40g tank because it's an R40 model tank according to the label.
