rydogg 186 #1 Posted August 18, 2012 I was doing some work on my RJ35 that I picked up this spring and noticed that the fuel tank seems too small I have an early model with the gas tank stand. Can anyone get me the measurements of the correct tank so I can verify mine or start looking for the proper size a picture would be helpful too. Thanks in advance, Ryan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebo-(Moderator) 8,059 #2 Posted August 18, 2012 It is a clinton tank. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,129 #3 Posted August 18, 2012 "buckrancher" Brian was here a few weeks ago & measured the tank on my early '55 Perhaps he will see this & share the dimensions. If not, I can dig it out later. Rumor is that the tank is from the A-2500 Clinton engine. Looking at some pictures of them here on the internet, I would say it's not a rumor. :thumbs2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hammerhead 816 #4 Posted August 19, 2012 One just sold on Ebay for $170.00 and some change!! That was last week or 2 ago. It was from an early RJ too. I bought one awhile back for $15.00 from a fellow member here, thanks Mike. Just goes to show the price range is huge. Gotta love them early RJ's...KJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gotta love them early RJ's...KJ I was bidding on that but it got out of my price range. My tank is the shorter more common Clinton tank so I will be in search of the correct or correct looking one. Thank you Steve for the picture that will be a huge help in finding another one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buckrancher 2,678 #6 Posted August 20, 2012 5 3/8" W x 6 1/4" T x 8 1/4" L Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VinsRJ 721 #7 Posted August 20, 2012 Steve is correct. The early RJ use a Clinton tank. They were found on 1200s also. Look for a 50-60's generator with a Clinton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clintonnut 126 #8 Posted August 20, 2012 2500 series clinton tank is longer than the one used on an RJ. I have a few of them but will hold on to them! Charlie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rydogg 186 #9 Posted December 25, 2012 Well, Merry Christmas to me I got my RJ35 fuel tank dropped off by USPS this morning and just got back home from christmas parties so I could open it up. I have been scouring ebay to find one that was reasonably priced and finally got this one that is nice and clean and ready for paint. This one was listed as a kohler tank but I checked the dimensions and figured out it was the clinton tank that I need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
