The fuel tank on these pictures is not original; this one is exchanged by the previous owner with a 1984-type of Serpent ‘flip-top’ fuel tank. Original there was a black fuel tank which had to be build by the owner with the kit. These fuel tanks tend to leak and that can be the reason for the exhange to this ‘newer’ (1984) fuel tank.
