Chuck Lutz escribió:The Stewart Warner Fuel Sender has FIVE screws to hold it to the tank. It has a raised, rectangular look to it similar to the first one you pictured, but the post is on an ARCHED top, not a flat top like the on in the pic and the post is not in the center, it is closer to the corner of the arch nearest the driver's side of the jeep.....the one in your top pic with the flat top looks like all the aftermarket ones I have seen. I have never seen the flat kind as shown in the second pic...
Perhaps the early slat grill used a sender that was NOT a Stewart Warner, but if you have a wide mouth tank, yours is late....so something does not seem OK with this settup...it may be Dodge or other application????
Chuck Lutz escribió:That is the standard Stewart Warner sender that Ford used....Willys used another I think. When that one was painted is unknown and if they were painted after installation or not at the factory is not known to me.
Those senders with a dichromate (yellow) finish are not SW, they may not even be WWII-era, I can't speak for the Willys senders, but I would go with a SW in a GPW and not paint it for a "factory" appearance.

I am trying to fit a reproduction fuel tank into an original body, original seat frame and reproduction seat base. Compared to the original tank, the openings for the filler and sender are 7/8 out towards the passengers side. Is this a common problem with the reproduction tanks?
The original tank is beyond saving.

Todavia no tengo claro lo del filtro ceramico.
Hasta donde pude averiguar los tanques de nafta pasaron de la boca chica como el del Slat al de la boca grande con el filtro de malla retraible, a partir del MB #174739 , es decir aprox Enero del 44.
Lelvaban la malla metalica, pero no se donde estaba el filtro ceramico que vos comentas.....

Chuck Lutz escribió:The tanks with the filter in them are difficult to work with....the early tank required that you only make sure that the sealer you put in did not plug up the gas intake line inside the tank....this style has a ceramic filter in the tank and insuring it does not get "sealed" when you fix the tank is the MAJOR problem you will have.
The old bucket-of-gravel or length-of-chain and strapping the tank to a cement mixer may work on the EARLY tanks but this one might not like that plan....
You either need to use a CHEMICAL cleaner that can be dissolved or try another method...
If you have heard of SODABLAST that seems to me to be the perfect solution to this problem....made from SODA and dissolving in water....you use a sandblasting wand inside the tank with just enough pressure to clean the inside. When you are done, high pressure air will blow out most. Then you pour in a few gallons (five?) of BOILING water and slosh it around and let it run out the filter and gas line. Another blast of high pressure air to dry it and placing it in the SUN for a few hours to INSURE the evaporation of water will do the job.
Remember the tanks were "terne coated" steel so you ony want to remove surface rust and not eat into the metal with this or anything else!
Afterwords a new set of fuel lines and cleaning the screen in the fuel pump and you should be good to go....
