This '38 deluxe has a new steel fuel tank on it. It is 8 1/2" deep at the fuel gauge sender. Can I assume it has the original capacity, and what is the capacity of the original?

Thanks, Gene
 
I don't know who made the tank, it was on the car when I bought it. It could be a Drake, I see some of the other parts on the car are by him. I thought maybe someone familiar with the tanks could tell from the depth.
 
I've got a 38 fuel tank by Tanks and it's suppose to be 14 gallons. With the price of gas, for me that's plenty. I think that Drakes are 16 gallons, but I'm not 100% sure about that. Go to Drakes website, it'll tell you about the quantities of his tanks.
 
Thanks ford1 for the original tank capacity. Drake's catalogue says his is 14 gallon, too, so I'll assume that's what this one is.
