Default fuel tanks

tank size is 31 3/4 inch long by 12 wide and 10 deep. This looks to me like a pair of early CMP tanks. The location of the filler is the same as those tanks fitted to short bodied C8 and F8 and also I believe to 11 /12 cab quads with the fuel fillers set into the floor inside the body. The large brass cover plate on the very early tanks and the fuel change over switch were dropped fairly early on i seem to remember reading some where because its difficut to tell what the setting is, (ie if you are running on the reserve or the main tank) certainly I have been caught out before now with the C8. The fuel lift pipe is also in line with a other cmp tanks although the sender unit is not present? I wonder does a higher quality pic show it as capped off?...

anyway just my pennies worth

kind regards

Nick
