Lunch box oil tank. Thanks. I’ll give that a try.

If you'd like, take a pic and write down all dimensions and 6 or 12 volt. Send me a PM with the info and I'll go over to the factory and see if I can help you out. DEKA is only a few miles from me and they have a store there that's open to the public.

Odyssey dry cells might be worth a look too, one lasted 12 years in my kickstart only Norton and the second one is doing well too.
