White IT tank

You might have a 1981 IT 175, the '82's in the states where blue.
Does it have a linkage rear suspension or cantilever style?

The YZ seat is about 30mm longer at the front than the IT, so assume the YZ tank is shorter.

I don't trust what Clarke says their capacities are now. 2 times i have bought tanks and both were several liters short of what they claimed the capacity should be. Both were ment to be 14L, 1 was 12.75 and the other one 11.85.
