      Is there a surefire way to tell whether it is a Caille or not? Also, is there a place where I could possibly find a tank…

        Yes, read the previous responses to confirm it’s a Caille.

        Tanks are typically shot on these, both of the Caille tanks I’ve had needed repair.  You can try the Classifieds above for a used one, but many folks have them made up using the castings already on the tank you have.  I’ve priced them and gotten quotes for around $350.  Some club members can make them, but it usually requires more than $350 in equipment alone.

          Ah, okay. Would you know of a way to clean the surface rust off? I’d like to try and save as much as I can

            Lets talk about the tank… please describe the current condition ( pictures would help) , Is it intact? any holes? big holes or rust pin holes? Can you remove the cap? look inside? much rust? From the picture that you have posted it looks like the tank is pretty much intact.

            With a better assessment of the condition, we can give you some guidance as to how to proceed.

            Also, have you told us where you are located? Local assessment/ help may be near.

              Does anybody know what happened to this thread?  The user name has disappeared, as have the photos of the motor.  (Was this a scam from the start? or is it simply a website issue?)

                Yes, strange, for sure.  At least no money changed hands.
