I had one of those in my hands. But the picture don't show the real 85 Liter
fuel tank, it's the usual
60 Liter. The 85 Liter extends by about 20 cm to the back end of the van.
The purpose of this
picture is just to show where some flexible plates have to be mounted before
installation.

The 85 Liter tank is built for the South African Microbusses. Check the
South African VW site about
this: http://www.vw.co.za The tanks are manufactured somewhere in Germany,
don't know where
exactly. But they are only sold in South Africa. Even Winkler imports those
tanks from there.

Quality is like those you know from usual 60 Liter tanks.
