Martin,
I found a used one in a junk yard, from an early MKIII.  Kind of a bonus as
the earlier tanks hold about a gallon more.  That was quite a few years ago.
The later tanks had the filler neck extend down farther inside the tank to
create an expansion area at the top for evaporative emission control reasons
- I believe you can still get new or reconditioned tanks from Rimmer
Brothers, at least they have a part number for them.
