Massey ferguson fe35 petrol
My fuel tank is corroded and beyond repair.
In australia, I can only find a new tank with a single tank (no reserve) and only one outlet to the fuel bowl assembly as opposed to the two outlets on my fuel bowl connection.
Can anyone advise how I might be able to connect the new single outlet tank to the existing dual input fuel bowl bowl assembly or an alternative fuel bowl assembly that might work with the new tank.
Thankyou forum

Thank you Agvg, I have ordered the tank and above fuel assembly. Will report on the installation next week.

You report your fuel tank is beyond repair . I found that the gas tank on my 1955 Ferguson TO-35 appeared to be in reasonable condition, until I inspected the end of the tank close to the battery. In that location, I found several holes in the tank , due apparently to battery acid which encouraged the corrosion. I removed the stock gas tank, and covered the gap in the hood with fairly stiff aluminum sheet. I now use a smaller steel gas tank made for an outboard motor , which sits on top of the aluminum sheet ( with a foam pad between them.) I mention this because the holes in the original tank were not obvious , but many tractors may develop them, and create a fire hazard.

Thankyou WilliamTO-35


A mechanic looked at it and he has said the interior of the tank is completely corroded so I think a new tank is my only option.

I’ve managed to get a new tank and fuel bowl (mf35) and I’m currently looking for a fuel line between the fuel bowl and the carby with the right fittings as the fuel bowl fitting is different to the one on the FE35
