Vacuum Tank for a 1922 Essex

Jay_G · June 2011

Working on my new (to me) 1922 Essex Coach and I would like to get the car running off the vacuum tank. Currently it is on an electric fuel pump. The problem is the old tank is full of holes with rust falling out of them. Does anyone have a tank they would like to sell? Working would be nice, but something rebuildable is fine.

Jay, if all else fails get a hold of Geoff Clark in New Zeland.

Hang on to your cast vac tank top (as distinct from the pressed steel later one) as well as the valves. Much of the rest is able to be fabricated. Alex Burr's collection of manuals includes a vac tank (maybe later) one. Find Alex's collection via the HET Club's web site.
