I'm pretty sure this is the one for 1911-1912 and I'm sort of certain that all through 1911 and most of 1912 the sediment bulb was in the center of the tank over the driveshaft...I think it was later in 1912 that Ford went to the later style bulb with the built in shutoff valve on the side and moved to where it is now on the later models through 1925 and 1926-1927 on Fordor Sedans.

PN 2907, fuel shutoff, is a separate part (you illustrated it as though it was part of the sediment bowl), and PN 2916 is not part of the assembly. I'm nearly certain it came later

Nice work...always appreciate seeing it!

I know it is a separate part, but it was called out as separate on the Sediment Bulb Assembly...

Let he start by saying the work your doing is fantastic and I have a correction for you the 11-12 tank has the mounts riveted to the bottom of the tank the later years use the strap mount you are showing

Martynn,

The 1910, 1911, 1912 and 1913 gas tanks and sediment bulbs are all different.

The 1911 gas tank has the soldered-on sediment bulb on the end of the passenger side.
The 1912 gas tank has the non-hex sediment bulb that screwed into the center of the gas tank, which was too close to the drive line.
By 1913 they added a hex head to the top of the sediment bulb, and split the difference between the end and the center.

You may remember these drawings...

Yes, but this assembly is for the 1912 Torpedo whose sediment bulb doesn't look like any of my previous drawings...it is a slim looking carrot like sediment bulb and is directly over the driveshaft...all other cars had that non-hex "potato" looking sediment bulb in the same position. Then they went to the hex sediment bulb in 1913 that I have drawn that is about 6 inches off center towards the passengers side. And although the "carrot" didn't have a hex, it did have flats on both sides so you could get a wrench on it to thread it on with because it is a pipe thread.

The only other thing that I've got on this drawing that is not correct, is that in tank fuel filter 2903BSC...it doesn't fit this or the 1909 sediment bulb.

Colin, you're right I forgot about that...Revision 1-B

That looks better great job Thanks Colin

went to the dump today and came home with a trunk full of parts and this early gas tank
