Title: got me new/used gas tank
Post by: rangerbrown on August 16, 2006, 03:41:09 PM
got it to day, its not flaw less, but still looks good, but...

the gas cap, looks as if some one tyed to pry it off with a flat head driver (to unlock it that is)

so my thoughs are that it is stolen and was parted out. there are no numbers on the tank other than the part#

what do you all think?

ether way i will have it mounted when the chain comes in at work and be back on the road again

Probably someone just tried to open the tank since they did not have a key and could not figure out how to pick the lock, which is not very difficult to do.

I would not worry about if it was stolen. Unless you have other proof, enjoy your purchase.
