Description

If you’ve got one of those classic TVO20 tractors with the TVO (Tractor Vaporizing Oil) fuel system, you know how unique these machines are. This double-compartment fuel tank is specifically designed for TVO operation, where one side handles petrol for starting and the other carries TVO (essentially kerosene) for running operation. When your original tank is showing its age with rust, leaks, or contamination issues, this replacement gets your vintage Massey Ferguson running like it should.

What You’re Getting

Dual-compartment design with separate sections for petrol starting fuel and TVO running fuel
Heavy-duty construction that stands up to decades of farm use and the unique demands of TVO fuel systems
Proper mounting configuration that fits the original tank location on your TE series chassis
Quality welded seams and corrosion-resistant coating to prevent the rust-through that plagues older tanks

Built for TVO System Operation

These iconic tractors from the 1960s and early 1970s are beloved for their simplicity, reliability, and versatility in handling cultivation, hay production, loader work, and general farm duties. The TVO20 was part of Massey Ferguson’s innovative fuel system that let farmers run on cheaper kerosene after starting on petrol. Whether you’re restoring a family heirloom or keeping a working vintage machine operational for specialized tasks, this tank maintains the original dual-fuel capability that made these tractors so economical to operate.

Made to Last

These classic Massey Ferguson tractors were built to last, and this replacement tank maintains that tradition with robust steel construction that resists rust and corrosion. The tank is engineered to handle the thermal expansion and contraction that occurs with daily use, while the proper mounting design prevents stress cracking at connection points.

Installation Notes

Drain old tank completely before removal – fuel is heavy and hazardous. Support tank properly during removal and installation to prevent damage. The TVO system requires proper fuel line connections to both compartments, so take photos before disconnecting anything. Use new mounting rubbers to prevent stress cracks. Check all fuel lines for deterioration and replace as needed. This is also a perfect time to service your fuel selector valve and clean the fuel system components.
