1971–72 Cadillac Fuel Tank — 27 Gallon, 3-Vent

Factory-Style Reproduction — 20-Gauge Stamped Steel with Silver Powder-Coated Finish

This high-quality reproduction fuel tank is designed for 1971–72 Cadillac models, reproducing the original 27-gallon capacity, 3-vent configuration, factory dimensions and mounting arrangement for proper installation in the original location. Professionally stamped from 20-gauge steel, CE16270 is formed to original-style dimensions and contours for the large-capacity Cadillac fuel system. A durable silver powder-coated finish protects the steel against rust and corrosion while providing a clean, original-style appearance. The tank incorporates the correct three-vent configuration used on these applications and retains the original-style filler-neck arrangement. The filler neck is not permanently incorporated as a complete assembly, allowing the tank to connect to the vehicle's original-style fuel-fill system. For Eldorado applications, the filler neck requires shortening for proper installation, an important application-specific detail that should remain prominently stated in the Notes.

Features • Authentic 27-gallon tank capacity, identical to factory GM • Correct 3-vent configuration • Heavy-duty 20-gauge stamped-steel construction • Durable silver powder-coated finish • Correct original-style dimensions and contours • Correct factory mounting configuration • Original-style filler-neck arrangement • Includes drain provisions • Fits multiple 1971–72 Cadillac passenger-car applications • Not for Commercial Chassis models

Notes

  • These tanks are not for Commercial Chassis models.
  • Filler neck requires shortening for Eldorado models
  • This item is Oversize 3, and is excluded from free ground shipping.
