    This is in the yellow maverick.
    Can anyone tell from this photo whether it is original or aftermarket?

    It looks like the N.O.S one I sold from my 69.5. Had the same type number stamping.

    Looks like a NOS replacement.
    I will take a look at the NOS tank that I have. What does the yellow tag say and are there any marking on the bottom side of the tank?

    I looked at my NOS tank and it is stenciled with the same part number just on the other side of the tank next to the circle.

    The aftermarket tank I have dosen't have anything about Ford on it and just has "U.S. Steel" stamped on it.
