Is this tank red because it is painted in the PHENOLIC ALKYD PRIMER paint?
Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
These tanks just have a rust preventative primer coat to get it through transit and storage. You will still want to do an official primer coat.

I have 1953 m38a1 which I am converting to 12 volts I need a fuel tank. Which tank can I use being that it has to be12 volts the tank that I have is no good so I would like to use a tank that is made out of plastic which tank can I use to replace the original one even if I have to modify it. I would need a 12 volt pick up system and sending unit.
Willys Tech:
If you have an M38A1 you need to stick with the M38A1 tank part number: 805605 and use part number:640694 for the sendig unit for 12 volt. It will screw right in. You may want to extend its arm a bit to read fully due to the M38A1's well.

Will this tank fit / work for a '55 CJ5 under the seat installation? I like the large mouth design and the look much better than the small spout of the CJ5. Also think it would be better for filling the tank with a Jerry can:-)
Willys Tech:
If you have a CJ-5 you really need to use part number: 912008. This is a totally different tank specific for the M38.
