    What you are showing is a CR tank that started with the MAG 250 and was used on CRs up until 1981 That is I think a 2.2 gallon while the WR tank starting in 1974 after the rounded tanks of 73 and earlier

    Is the fuel cap in the center? Wr/or larger tank. If the fuel cap is offset it's a cr tank.

    VintageCS that tank is approx. 3 gallons

    Bill - How do you explain the offset fillers on the WR tanks ?
