Remi,
My long ranger tank is out on loan. When (if) it is ever returned, I'll check
out the dimensions and let you know what they are.
Best regards,
Bob Borger

I am surprised not to receive any response on the forum regarding my previous
message below. May be I have got the only bad tank and cap supplied by the
factory!
Again the problem is the cap which fits badly to the tank opening. It is
almost like screwing an AN6 nut to an AN5 bolt. Comments and suggestions
welcome.
