fuel tanks
Peter,
The standard 15CWT fuel tanks are 12"x32" by 10" tall. The filler neck style varied from stubby vertical ones centrally mounted to longer angled filler tubes at the edge of the tank. If this is the size you need then PM me or call me. .... Brian

Fuel tanks
Rick,
If the Lynx tanks are the same dimensions as the regular CMP fuel tanks, I may have to resort to the same solution that you did. Can you confirm the overall dimensions? Thanks, Peter

The tanks are 32"x10"x12", therefore are a standard blitz tank. The difference is in the position of the filler. You have to get it in the middle of the armoured cap. The drain might also be in the wrong place. The sender doesn't matter but is 6 volts not 12 volts as is the fuel gauge. The new fuel pipes can be made according to the location of the L/R tap. Regards Rick

Thanks,
Rick,
Thanks for the size confirmation. I think that I've got a line on an original Lynx tank, with filler and drain in the correct locations. I've also got a very good CMP tank which I will modify as a mirror image. I'm starting to think that I will probably have to fabricate the armoured cover and hatch. Any drawings in existence?? Peter

Peter, if you have one armoured cover just have the fab shop make a mirror copy. As far as your fuel tanks, don't be in a hurry, you never know what will show up.
I found out a long time ago that with a little patience that sometimes it is worth the wait.

Armoured covers
Chris,
Looks as if my fuel tank situation has been sorted out. I'm still looking for the armoured covers, or drawings. I suspect that you are right and I may have to have them fabricated. Peter Last Roll - 08 (2).jpg
