looking for knowledge/parts for aftermarket saddle tanks
 

My truck has a pair of ,what appear to be, aftermarket poly saddle tanks. The tanks look like they're in good shape but need to be cleaned out. The problem is that the cap for the right tank has been cracked (apparently by the tire when the bad springs and shocks were still on the truck). This cap is a female fitting that goes over the filler neck with coarse threads. Anyone familiar with a tank like this? Anyone know a source for a new cap?

The tanks seem to be made for this truck and not universal so I'm hoping someone else has them. I haven't yet removed one of them to look for markings.

Just suscribing. Interested....

YM, for my selfish reasons, can you post pics? Also, look at the tank for identifiable mfr markings. Thanks. :bowtie:

Sounds similar to a diesel tank cap for large trucks.

OK, here are pics.

Are those inside the fender wells?

I would try farm tractor dealership---looks familiar -----farm guys can fix anything! Huck

Yep.

I keep having that feeling that I've seen them before but can't place it.

Just after I wrote the last message, it hit me. Tried the cap from my lawn tractor and it fit. Just ordered two of them from Sears. Now I just gotta drop the tanks and clean them out.

Lawn tractors have saddle tanks? :confused:



Oh, the cap. :lol: I knew that.:D

That must be one big a$$ lawn tractor you have!

Not really, but it has a big a$$ filler.

YM, once you have removed the tanks for cleaning, if you find mfr markings, please post the info. And if it's not too much trouble, post pics showing the mounting points so we can see how they fit the frame & body. TIA :)
