Where is that lightweight fuel tank on -18?

[Jooohan87]

One of the advertised weightdrop part for the 2018 was the 5lbs lighter fuel tank. Many people have said that cat never installed it on our machines. Did cat fooled us on this one? Is it acceptable?

Part nr for fuel tank 2017: 1770-032
Part nr for fuel tank 2018: 1770-032

”The fuel tank is now manufactured using a rotational molding process (roto-molding). This is a more costly process but it allows the tank to be manufactured with a thinner cross-section (wall thickness) which provides 5 pounds (seriously) of weight saving. The tank holds 10.5 gallons of fuel and has a larger storage compartment in the rear (we are told this storage area is about 2 quarts larger in volume).”

id probably be mad if i saw them on the '19.
but ask yourself if you want a gallon less capacity.
are they getting the bigger mpgs to justify this?
its kinda fishy.
