With SirAndy's help, I have uploaded a couple of versions of the factory drawings for the /6 oil tank.
I have a copy that was made by the factory from a database of digitized drawings. The copy that I have is pretty big, not in front of me, but something like 3 feet by 4 feet. It shows the tank full size.
I had it scanned, and I got three files, two of which I uploaded: a 22meg pdf and a 7 meg (approx) Jpeg.
Here's the pdf link:

and the Jpeg:

Big files of course. If someone is able to reduce one of them to make it easier for those who don't have the latest connections, please do so.
The third file is a .psd extension. Dunno what that is, but it's 48 meg !

I converted the jpg to greyscale and saved it. Down to 2mb or so. When working with B/W images the 24 bit color setting is very wasteful. It may be possible to save as lineart (1 bit) but it would best be done working with the original scanned image. Then compare to see if anything is lost. Perhaps get higher resolution without the huge file size.

I haven't the slightest idea how to upload files here, but I messed around with the JPG a bit, converted it to PNG, scaled, yadda, yadda, yadda. Came up with oil tank. Final size is around 770k (~ 90% reduction).

Cheers,
