Installation notes
The fuel tank sump is mounted into the floor panel prior to tank installation. Drainage caps should remain fitted on the forward openings during normal use; rear caps only during deep wading or adverse weather conditions. Check before fitting that the edges of the drainage openings are not distorted.
Compatibility
Please note: subtle differences exist between Ford GPW and Willys MB versions in the form of the tank strap mounting brackets. Specify when ordering which make of jeep you are restoring. Early and late war versions also exist — early models (until approximately early 1942) may have divergent details.
Historical context
The fuel tank sump was a practical solution to mount the tank securely beneath the driver's seat whilst allowing drainage of water and contaminants via closable openings in the floor panel.
