    OR and WR fuel tank is aluminum and are the same. The CR tank just has a smaller capacity then the OR and WR fuel tank.

    At least for the 1983 models the xc has a larger tank and longer plastic stops so the forks don't hit it. I am pretty sure the wr also has the larger tank and am sure the cr has the smaller tank. It is not that easy to tell the difference from pictures from most angles. Using that information you could probably figure it out by going through the parts sheets available on this site.

    What's wrong with the fuel tank that's on it right now? Didn't look to bad in the picture.

    the easiest way to tell the older or / wr tanks vs cr is the gas cap is in the center of the tank. cr tank cap is on the rh side cause tank is narrower.

    The 1979/80 Auto has the small aluminum tank with RH side fill as well.

    Does your tank have the center fill? Steel? IF so , this is an OR / WR tank.

    The picture you posted looks like the larger steel tank... More pics please.
