it fit. I could not have been more careful.

Steve...I like your thinking regarding your design for an aluminum fuel
tank, but I'm a little confused by the small tank with the large filler
at the top. Was this some sort of a trial?...or is it a companion to the
large tank?

Try McMaster.com. I am sure they have it, but you may need to check if
it is made of the right material.
