Re: New Gas Tank Issue

One thing I cannot wrap my head around is the locking flange. Granted it could be camera angle or shadow but to me that particular new tank looks as if the flange is on the wrong side..

I took a photo of my 56 tank (right side photo) and on that one the flange wraps downward leaving a smooth seal surface with no notch. On the new tank in question it sure looks to me like the flange curves upward which if it does, would surely leave a large gap for fuel to escape. Yellow arrows mark the two points I am comparing.

Could someone please save my sanity and confirm it is just optical illusion or do these new tanks take a completely different cap.
