Hi Guys,

Thanks for your thoughts. I had the same idea.....never seen this combination before. If I remember correctly the C8 was only produced as a GS and a Wireless version originally(?)

I haven't been able to pin down the origins of the tank yet. Like Richard said, most tanks were of the oval type...and not round like this one. It could even have come from a trailer, but no match yet...

thanks, Alex

Hi Alex
Went through all my US stuff and only found one round tank...trailer mounter 220Gallons ..used for refueling aircraft..
But this looks bigger than 220 Gallons..
The fittings are in the wrong place too but who knows..
