GS 650 gas tanks

[Guest]

Are 650E and 650G gas tanks identical, aside from stock paint colors?
I know L model is obviously different.
Looking at a mixed 650 parts lot, trying to determine what the tank is. Not oem paint so can't id that way.

I think they are the same except the E has a sending unit for the gas gauge, and the G does not. Not 100% sure but I think that was it.

Any cylinders and heads in that lot?

Its a half disassembled, 90% complete 650E with the wrong seat and uncertain gas tank.Complete engine and carbs. That's why I'm interested.

Some of the later G's also have sending units.

I noticed the petcock is flipped around on some models as well, and placed in a slightly different place on the underside of the tank causing clearance issues. I put an '82 G tank on my '83 G for awhile, and I had to get creative in routing the fuel line
