tanda62 Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 Just got the aluminum fuel tank for Studebaker International and noticed a tab on it that is not on the original tank I took out of my 63. Anyone know what this tab is for? Thanks, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo B Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) Wire to ground? Static electricity? Edited September 28, 2021 by Leo B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo B Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) I think nowadays all new tanks (cars, boats etc) need to be grounded and the reason is static electricity. Previously, it was not mandatory. Edited September 28, 2021 by Leo B Text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luma Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 I also got a couple of new gas tanks from SI and attached are the instructions that were sent with them. Hope this is helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
