The tank that we reproduced will fit and function in the 51's. The difference is the fuel capacity it will be slightly more and there is no whistle in the neck. If you have any other questions please let me know.

Thanks for the clarification. If Kanters would just state in their ads the tanks will physically fit 51-6 and have a disclaimer stating the differences for 51 it would sure avoid a lot of confusion or questions. List it as a replacement for 51s but there may be a need to also purchase the fuel sender since the tank is larger.

The capacity difference is interesting. There is no mention in any of the 51 specs listed in the service counselor or service manual as a model being different. All are listed as 20 gallons including the commercial chassis. Do you have a figure for the actual 51 capacity and which models?
