Hello,
Some time ago I came across a fuel tank for the Willys MB. The tank is in very good condition, has a large filling opening and around the perimeter of the groove. All fuel tanks that I have ever seen, were without this groove. Can you please help me with the identification of this tank? Is it a reproduction or an original. If original, what of time period?
Thank you for Your help

Re: Fuel tank
Yes Luc is correct that is an M201 tank . I have one just like it as a second.

Re: Fuel tank
The guys are correct Barnii, Hotchkiss, they turn up regularly here in the U.K. due to there being quite a few of the M201s being over here.
