Gas tank is dual cap style with a right side petcock location and a fuel capacity of 4.2 gallons. Paughco gas tanks are shipped "raw" and may have oxidation which must be sanded off then coated with primer prior to painting. Tanks use early style pre-1975 type petcock. Check the tank for flaws and fit before painting. Do not grind or sand the seams or joints. Clean the inside of the tank. It is suggested to pressure test and use a tank sealer. We suggest using Kreem gas tank combo kit to clean, condition, and seal to help stop leaks and prevent corrosion. Check petcock opening, making sure the petcock can be easily installed. Petcock fitting should be masked or plugged during painting for easy installation of petcock.
