  • Thanks for the assistance on the autogas topic. I am finding it difficult
    to establish what my tanks are made from. Certainly the visible section
    around the filler is aluminium.

    Thanks for the assistance on the autogas topic. I am finding it difficult
    to establish what my tanks are made from. Certainly the visible section
    around the filler is aluminium, and the tank, when struck with the
    dipstick returns a metallic sound. Anybody any ideas of serial numbers of
    alum. tanks?  Mine 200.068. TKS.

    The best way to find out if your tanks are aluminium -- I'd imagine
    -- is simply to look inside. Mine are aluminum (#113): you can see
    seams, welding, folded corners....

    SN 68 has metal tanks.  They began, I believe, with SN 64 or 65.
