Replacing the fuel tank on a 1996 Yamaha Seca II, is a 1992 tank compatible

Hi Everyone,

Just posting this with the hope that someone can give me advice.

Unfortunately, my 1996 Seca II has a hole in the fuel tank. I have
been unable to find a used 1996 fuel tank to replace it and am
unwilling to fork over $600 for a new tank on a bike I'm going to
replace next season.

I've seen several 1992 tanks for sale on eBay and have been trying to
determine if they are equivalent.

I've contacted Yamaha to ask if they are identical but all they were
able to tell me is that the part numbers have changed from 1992 to
1996.

From the pictures I've seen the tanks look identical, but I have yet
to see the bottom of the tanks.

Any advice?

Do any other Seca owners have experience in this?

Regards,

Dave M
