Hi,

I've just been looking at your website and wonder if you could help with my project. I'm currently restoring a WW2 SAS European jeep but am having problems identifying the fuel tanks used above the rear wheels. I think they are CMP made but for which vehicle i don't know. The approximate size of the fuel tanks would be about 31" long X 10" high X 11-12" wide, with the fuel cap located on the top of the tank on a very stub filler neck and also the fuel line on the top. I have also seen a lot of pictures with the tanks having no stamped 'X' re-enforcing to the tank ends like British Bedford type tanks. I have included some pictures of the tanks, if you can identify which vehicle they are from that would be great.

Best regards,

Tim Taylor
