Definitely a different tank than what I've seen on the LMC catalog. It is almost comical how much rust and crap are in the bottom of that old tank. Don't know how it ever ran.



I found a jaz fuel cell on craigslist yesterday so I picked it up. It is not exactly the same size, but I can make it work. It came with a bunch of braided hoses and AN fittings. Now on the hunt to find the adaptors to go from AN fittings to the stock fuel lines. The new tank also needs a filler neck. I'm hoping I can make something work on the cheap from Home Depot with a threaded PVC flange and cap. I am a little concerned that there are no baffles in the tank so there will be a lot of sloshing.
