That's a 550 tank Drew.

Here's a 400/4 tank (for comparison)

Might have a use for that, how wide is the channel down the centre, and how long is the tank overall (roughly)

Looks like a 550/k3 tank to me, I have a spare that's pinholed and didn't seal with petseal that could be used as a paint targett. Would seem a bit of a waste if the results came out well though, on a cruddy tank.....

That's just the sort of thing that would happen to me, test piece comes out beautiful and you can never replicate it on the real thing...   :(

Hey Phil. It is 4" tween rubber mount bits and about 21" long, if that helps.

If that's the original paint I think it's an F1 tank. The F2 had stripes on similar to the 400 F2 tank shown above.

Not sure about fittings on the 750.

Worth a chance?

I'm interested so long as it doesn't leak!!

Do you still have the tank & if so, can I have it for my Parts Bin Special?  as I don't have a tank at all at present.


Cheers!

Sorry Drew, I should have mentioned that I bagged a very nice tank on ebay a couple of weeks ago, so not looking at this one now,
