Are all factory Bumps auxiliary gas tanks the same?

Post by 6Delta »

I need a affordable (that means used) auxiliary gas tank for my 71 CS sport. The PO removed the original to add a cheapo dual exhaust and did not keep it. I am looking on Craigslist but wonder what other years may interchange (or be made to work) since I believe the filler hole may be located in different places on the tank in different years. I still have the original mounting brackets (at least I think I have them all) and the gas lines, fuel switches (the in cab gauge and tank) but no skid plate. That I can make. I really want the side tank since the filler cap and pipe (they used a SawsAll to cut the rubber hose off the old tank) are still there. Even still have the locking cap and key LOL. I have been contacted by several people with dealer installed tanks (outside of the frame) but I am not interested in those. Thanks in advance for any input.

I'm pretty sure you can use the dentside version as well.
