Myself and a few other listers have been in contact with IMS about this tank. It has a nominal capacity of 6.75 gallons. Which means you can prolly expect to get 6.1 gallons out of it. It's color is G3 which is an olive colored translucent tank. As opposed to G2 (olive, on the web site). They don't have pictures available yet, but I'm in line to receive some by email, and you all will get them as soon as I do. The shrouds are molded into the tank. I haven't confirmed this myself, that's just what I've read here on the list. The tank cap is an MX style cap. It's not lockable and from first reports from IMS, it isn't included with the tank, we'll negotiate that later. It is a standard Kawi tank cap though. Again... specifics are still being compiled for sales to the general public, and hopefully they will have something for us soon. There is a lister here that owns one. Check the archives. He seems to have had some fit troubles but they are being resolved. My guess is, that is what the hold-up on info and pictures is. LaterZ Dash
