    That must be the tank thats in my 73, it had a new tank when I bought it, and it's not a Ford tank, all the holes that hold the sending unit wiring clips to the side of the tank flange aren't there, looks like the straps are still the originals, so who knows??

    I just checked one of my leftover owners manuals from the 76' Stallion we used to have, and it states the fuel tank capacity at 19.2 U.S. gallons. To answer 1972 Comet GT, the tank does not come with the sending unit. Thankfully I have a spare one that needs a float and a filter. I'll have them delivered today.
