Fuel tank luftwaffe, what aircraft?

[turilli]

Good Morning,

I found gas tank of engine for the starting up. I was told that it was for Bf 109, but i don't think because i didn't see pictures whit this type of engine tank.

Somebody saw or help me, please.

It's not good aircraft (109), i think

If that is the part shown in the pictures above it's a coolant tank, not a fuel tank.
The shape of these tanks changed on the Bf 109 as the engine installation and bearers changed and I don't know if your tank is from a Bf 109.

Cheers

Steve

Thanks Stona, i'm not sure that is the part shown in the pictures, for generally information

Based on the shape and assuming the large cone shape item is a drain, it looks like it fits in the wing of something. I'm really not sure the 109 had a fuel tank in the wing.

It's far too small to be a fuel tank......except maybe on a lawn mower

Cheers

Rather it's a kind of oil tank... than the fuel one.

Yea, that would be logical.

It's a coolant tank of a Junkers Jumo engine as used in the Ju 87 Stuka.
Just look at a picture of the left side of the engine.
