Title: TANK CAPACITY

Does a Watermelon tank hold more that a Toaster tank?  Also was the Windsor tank a plastic copy of the Watermelon style tank?  Thanks for the refresh on these.

I think the toaster is 2.5 and the watermelon is about 3?

What about the Clarke 3.7 gal tank for the MC5? I assume you are asking for your V to R bike, I'd bet that tank could be made to work pretty easily on your bike. I could get 100 miles out of my '82 Husky XC125 with a 3.9 gallon tank when I raced D-37 desert races, I'd bet that Sachs would go even farther on 3.7 gal.

Thanks Brian.  The MC5 tank is too narrow underneath for the High Breather frame I think.

I have an orange plastic tank, brand new, I believe it to be a Windsor that I would donate to you if you need it for the 125.
