Hi Christian

Can I ask what it is exactly that you are trying to find out about the GP7 fuel tank?

  Most Life-Like GP7/9's come with the rather standard 1200 gallon fuel tank and double air reservoir tanks behind the fuel tank.  The 'full length' tank is the passenger version and actually has an 1100 gallon fuel tank down the center, with 'side saddle' boiler water tanks on either side.  Usually there are 4 roof mounted air tanks.

  Are you looking for replacement fuel tanks?  Maybe Walthers(who now owns the P2K line of locomotives) has one in their 'returns/damaged' bin.
