Title: Wanted A65 Lightning OIF 4 gallon tank
Post by: simon.d.hewitt@gmail.com on 05 Oct, 2023, 11:33
Can anyone help with the 4 gallon OIF tank 83-2881? Or suggest something suitable that will fit?

Many thanks

Simon

T140 tanks will fit and don't have the centre seam which can lead to leaks.

I'd think that a T140 tank would be the best bet.
Wasn't there some sort of issue with the fuel tap location on these tanks ?
Didn't certain tanks have the fuel taps in a place where they fouled the carbs on the twin carb bikes ?
But I can't remember if that was the Triumph or BSA version.
I used to know all this stuff but time has taken it's toll on my memory
