Are there two different replacement tanks one 16, and the other 18 gallon? 1966 Dart. Thanks
 
I went with the 18 gallon tank in my 65 Barracuda. I believe the early A cars use the same single strap fuel tank. Sectra premium is the tank I bought and it was perfect fit. I also purchased the new strap, fuel fill rubber O ring and pick up as well.

I am just trying to figure out the tank size. Is there a 16 gal. tank or 18 only? My after market Auto Gage gas gauge shows 1/4 tank and takes 8 gallons to fill it. It has a Classic Industry's MF430 sending unit, if I remember correctly. Thanks for replies
 
I thought there was 2 tank sizes when I purchased mine. But I went back and looked up tank size and it only shows an 18 gallon for sale for 64 -66 early A cars.

Yes, that is what I am finding also...

When I replaced the one in my 65 Dart everything said 18 gallon tank. It runs out the filler neck if you put more than 16 gallons in it. I measured it several times, no way it holds 18 gallons.
 
I think the tanks are the same, but fill capacity is determined by how far the fill tube goes into the tank.

The deeper it goes, the more air on top...........
 
Thanks for all the info..

Sounds like my situation...

You won't find any (any) aftermarket senders that are accurate. Or I should have said "None".
 
As far as the sending unit goes, if you still have your original, send it to Wolf & Co to be refurbished. We had one done by them after going through 3 aftermarket units. The refurbished one reads right on the money.

They really only have to be accurate at empty :)
