28 Gallon Tank - 40/50-HP.
We have now estimated the cost for making Petrol Tanks with thinner gauge material and no rivetting to end plates or baffles as shown on drawing F.85553, and we consider this tank could be put on to production for the same cost or possibly a little less than the 20 gallon tank that was fitted as standard up to the end of '02' series.
