Wanted: Lynx fuel tanks

[Lynn Eades]

Robin, a quick search of peter's name will show you that it refers to the original Canadian Lynx.

Folks,

Thanks for clarifying my request. The vehicle is a Ford Scout Car, know as the Lynx, mk 11. The hull number is 4225, with a date of manufacture of Nov, 44. Any assistance in tracking down these parts would be greatly appreciated.

Peter,
I found an almost new lynx fuel tank when I recovered the remains of 1726. It wasn't until I went to fit it I realized that I had two left tanks and no right. I soon converted a left to a right and this is the result.

It will give you and anyone looking at this thread, the style and shape of a Lynx fuel tank.

I also used POR15 tank sealer in both tanks just to be sure. I also had to modify the drain position in the fuel tank armour as well as the tank drain point was now in the wrong place for the original drain.

Regards Rick.

Hi Rick, can you concur , the fuel tank for the Lynx is exactly the same as a standard Ford CMP tank , or other guys out there with CMP's ??

Peter,
The standard 15CWT fuel tanks are 12"x32" by 10" tall. The filler neck style varied from stubby vertical ones centrally mounted to longer angled filler tubes at the edge of the tank. If this is the size you need then PM me or call me. .... Brian

Rick,

If the Lynx tanks are the same dimensions as the regular CMP fuel tanks, I may have to resort to the same solution that you did. Can you confirm the overall dimensions? Thanks, Peter

Peter,

The tanks are 32"x10"x12", therefore are a standard blitz tank. The difference is in the position of the filler. You have to get it in the middle of the armoured cap. The drain might also be in the wrong place. The sender doesn't matter but is 6 volts not 12 volts as is the fuel gauge. The new fuel pipes can be made according to the location of the L/R tap.
