Thanks for the replies guys.I have a 1955 mark 25 and a 1958 mark 58 and I like to keep my boat and motors period correct. So from what I am hearing from you all either tank would be correct for the 55 and the 58 Merc ? I recently bought a 1957 Evinrude 7.5 HP. and 4 gallon tank from a guy on Craigslist for $75.00 in very good condition that his father bought new and after talking with him for a bit he said he had something else I might be interested in and brought out the Merc tank to show me. He did not know why he even had it or where it came from but it was in excellent condition. I ended up giving him $40.00 for it. I am more of a Johnson / Evinrude guy but old Mercury’s intrigue me and living in outboard rich Ohio I know if something vintage Merc comes up to just buy it as you just do not come across it often. Again let me know if the two tanks I have would be period correct to use with either a 1955 and 1958 Mercury. Thanks Bill,
