Gale gas tank?

[Homer Simpson]

Does anyone need a Gale outboard gas tank? Or does anyone know what a Gale (I think it is a 6 maybe 8 gallon gas tank) is worth?

A Gale tank is the same as a Johnson/Evinrude tank. All are made by OMC.
10-20 bucks if in really good condition.

How old is this tank? Th early ones were different than E/J and might fetch a few bucks premium from a collector looking for the "correct" tank.

Of course Frank is right on this. I'm more familiar with the 60's stuff. What was the cross-over point...I think 1955 ??
Now I gotta look up stuff.....Pretty sure I was running an 1961 Evi 18 with a older Gale tank (spare) back in the day when both Whaler and I were new. The 1940's stuff was all different across OMC's lines.

EDIT
I just restored a 1957 25hp, and I'd love to have a Gale tank, provided it's not abused.

It is in great condition on the inside, spotless-no rust just clean. It is in pretty good shape on the outside beside a few paint chips. My e-mail is EDIT. It is a cool looking gas tank and I will send you a picture if you are intrested.
