| + | * Only has 3 oil line fittings near on the bottom of the tank. | ||
| + | * Still has the threaded hole on the upper rear for 82-93 starter relay even though the relay was moved elsewhere in 94. | ||
| + | | ||
| + | * Has a thin bracket mounted on top near the rear of the tank for a wire holder. | ||
| + | * Can be used on 82-93 models paired with the 3 hole battery tray. However, the feed/drain hose may be a tight fit against the frame. | ||
| + | * **1997-1999 oil tank**: | ||
| + | * Looks basically the same as the 94-96 oil tank. | ||
| + | * Wide front bracket for mounting the battery box. \\ Bracket has arms welded to the tank extending to the two front tank to frame rubber mount holes. | ||
| + | * One piece rear bracket with 2 mounting holes for battery tray. Uses the 3-hole battery box with rubber bumpers on the back wall. | ||
| + | * 3 oil line fittings on or near the bottom of the tank. | ||
| + | * Still has the threaded hole on the upper rear for 82-93 starter relay even though the relay was moved elsewhere in 94. | ||
| + | * Curved rear contour. | ||
| + | * Feed/drain hose is curved toward the front to give more clearance between the hose and frame. | ||
| + | * Has a wider bracket mounted on top near the rear of the tank with a hole in the middle of it for a wire clip. \\ There is a rubber plug that goes in that hole on 1200S models. | ||
| + | * Can be used on 82-93 models paired with the 3 hole battery tray. | ||
| + | * **1994-1999 updated oil tank**: | ||
| + | * New version oil tank for 94-99 models (and 82-93 models with the addition of the 94-up, 3 hole battery tray) | ||
| + | * It's basically the same as the 2000-2003 oil tank with an added threaded hole in the back for the 83-93 starter relay. | ||
| + | * Requires the 3 hole battery tray. | ||
| + | * Boxed rear panel design for added strength and less flex with a boxed rear contour. | ||
| + | * The front battery tray mount was redesigned with a standalone welded bracket (wider base than on 83-93 tanks). | ||
| + | * Rear battery tray mounts are standalone welded studs with female threads. | ||
| + | * Has the wide bracket mounted on top near the rear of the tank with a hole in the middle of it for a wire clip. \\ There is a rubber plug that goes in that hole on 1200S models. | ||
| + | * **2000-2003 oil tank**: | ||
| + | * The threaded hole for the 82-93 starter relay was deleted. | ||
| + | * Requires the 3 hole battery tray. | ||
| + | * Boxed rear panel design for added strength and less flex with a boxed rear contour. | ||
| + | * The front battery tray mount was redesigned with a standalone welded bracket (wider base than on 83-93 tanks). | ||
| + | * Rear battery tray mounts are standalone welded studs with female threads. | ||
| + | * Using this tank on pre-94 models also requires alternate location for starter relay. | ||
| + | * Has a wide bracket mounted on top near the rear of the tank with a hole in the middle of it for a wire clip. \\ There is a rubber plug that goes in that hole on 1200S models. | ||
