delberto Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Can anybody identify this fuel tank, I was thinking early pursang. It came on my m49 project. Thanks Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagenut Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Hi Derek, Looks like early Pursang to me, too... except for the extended mounting ears to each side at the front. When looking beneath the tank, do they appear to added on? Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delberto Posted May 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Yes they have been Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagenut Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Based on that I believe you're spot on with your ID of that tank. They're beautiful tanks when restored... even more so than the later tanks as fitted to the m120/121 Pursangs, I think. Same overall profile but with the shapely contours at the sides and separate breather port. Nice racy-looking design! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
