Hi
I have an M606A1 (CJ5M)with a 10 Gallon capacity, I need to fit a bigger tank like the M38A1, if I do will this fit without having to alter the filling spout and bodywork, I have the correct seats so the tank will fit underneath any ideas please. _________________ Mark

Does your M606 have the extended bottom well for the oversized (deep bottom) M38A1 tank? _________________ Wes K

No Wes I just found out that to fit a bigger tank you need the well so i dont know whether it is worth doing as I have a solid floor etc _________________ Mark

There's a commercially available right hand under the passenger seat tank available for the short CJ5. _________________ Wes K

I assume that is available over there, it costs a bomb to ship things here which is a shame as you have almost everything I need _________________ Mark

If you remove the under seat tool box and install a modified CJ5 tank (relocated filler pipe or under the seat filler like the MB) there it will work. You can plumb them together, paralel or through a tank selector valve. Do you have repop 201 tanks available on your side of the pond? You could have a welder cut the bottom well section out. Or perhaps you could get a M38A1 driver's floor with the well and install it on the driver's side. _________________ Wes K
