Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums Want to Buy Petroliana Bowser #64 Oil Tank Parts

In need of lid for Bowser #64 oil tank, and wood stick gauge that attaches to top of tank. Lid width at hinge attachment is 3 1/4".

Thanks,

Is it a 50 gal tank? I could supply you with the correct measurements to make your own if its a 50 gal.
I have a Bowser 172 with a wood measuring stick and everything is in really nice shape.---KEVIN

Hi Kevin, my tank is a 70 gallon tank. If you could provide me with the measurements of yours and a picture at your convenience, that would be great! I might be able to scale it up.

Thanks,

I'd be interested too, don't have one on any of my tanks.

Dick, There is a Bowser 172 on ebay, item #110366561274. Shows some pictures of the measuring stick.

Thanks, but that's a dip stick for a flip up. Might be similar through.

OK--Here are the measurements! This is a 172 Bowser flip lid and the tank measurers 20 inches wide by 27 inches deep and 29 inches tall. The measuring stick is 32 inches overall and is marked in 5 gal increments. The first mark is at 2 1/8 inches and every mark after that is an additional 2 1/8 inches. The last measurement is 65 gallons at 27 5/8 inches.
Hope this helps somewhat. The marks on the stick are just small saw cuts across the stick and the gallons are above the marks and are just stamped into the stick. Let me know if theres anything else I can get for you!---KEVIN

Thanks Kevin...

I have some stamped steel lids, if you can post the dimensions I can check to see if I have one that may fit.
They are not Bowser parts.

The distance between the hinge attachments is about 3 1/4". A 7" - 7 1/4" diameter lid may work. Please let me know if you have anything that may work. Thanks,
