around and thought possibly the holes
in the partitions are not large enough.
I cannot understand why this big
tank should only hold about ten gal~
ions, Can you give me any informa-
tion about this? A .0.
Most every tank has partitions in
it to prevent the gasoline from roll-
ing. These partitions have openings
at the bottom and should have small
openings at the top. If there are no
small openings at the top of the
partitions the air cannot escape from
these compartments when the tank
is being filled. As the gasoline rises
in the tank the air is compressed.
if there are small openings in the
top of the partitions. the air escapes
and no trouble should be experienced.
You can overcome this trouble by.
making a small opening in one end
with an extension drill. make a small
hole through each partition near the
top. When this is done, it will be a
small matter to seal up the opening
at the end of teh tank.
