> I recently got a new gas tank for my 1945 MB Jeep. When I got the Jeep,
> it had an early CJ version tank with the filler neck out the side. Also,
> the whole underside of the body needed to be restored, so none of the
> original gas tank attachment hardware was in existence. I made great
> progress with the body and am ready to put in the new gas tank I got for
> Xmas. However, I have several questions:
>
> (1) What is the proper mechanism to hold the tank in place? From photos I
> can tell there is a band that goes across --> Is there only one band?
> Where and to what does this band attach to on each side? Are there any
> friction pads that are supposed to go between the tank and the body/tank
> well? Any idea where I can get these and what part(s) by name should I ask
> for?
>
> (2) I have also seen some rock/dirt guards that are to go around the tank
> --> Are these original configuration? Where do they go? How are they
> held in? Any idea where I can get these and what part(s) by name should I
> ask for?
>
> (3) On the list in the past, several of you discussed the benefit of
> putting a sealer in the tank --> What type sealer should I get? Any Ideas
> who carries this sealer? Any guidance/instructions on how to coat the
> inside of this tank?
>
> Thanks in advance, Herb
