Can anyone tell me what differences, if any, there are between the P11(A) and Ranger fuel tanks and the G15CS tanks, other than paint scheme?

Thanks,
Ed
 
I have a N15 tank on my '67 P11. Basically the same as a G15 tank. One thing I don't like about the version of N15 tank I have is I can't use the nicer alloy fuel cap that screws down on two pins either side inside the fuel filler hole. Those pins are not part of the design on my version of N15 tank, and I have to use one of the chrome after market wedge-in style caps. If I fill the tank close to the top, fuel finds its way out on hard braking until the fuel gets lower in the tank. This happens because the seal isn't pulled down tight on the top of the fuel filler hole, like it would (might) be with a screw down cap. At least that's what I tell myself.

I'd look for a fuel tank that could use the alloy screw down cap, if I was looking for a tank again. The chrome cap looks like it was made where it was made. The alloy fuel caps are probably made in the same place, but they look better to me.

Not 100% sure, but I believe the Ranger tank is 3 Imp gallon, while P11, G15 and N15 is 2 gall.

Other way around, early P11 tank is an inch wider, P11A and Ranger use standard Matchless competition tank, as far as I know.
