That looks like a universal aftermarket coolant overflow tank. They say not to use them for oil because it will degrade the plastic over a short period of time.

Yeah , I've been reading up on it and you need something that can stand
up to 2 cycle oil. Just any ole coolant or wiper tank won't do, they will
disintegrate in a matter of months.

Thats why I started looking at motorcycles, snowmobiles and ATVs. Turns
out the ATVs seem to have pretty large tanks on them. I think I'll get the
Polaris ATV tank I saw on ebay. Once I do I'll do a writeup on how to
mod the MOP for an external tank. I know its been done before but I think
a more recent one is in order for the 1st gen.

I think j_tso was referring to the first 2 cycle reservoir you had from autozone.
The custom one you have now I bet is made to standup to 2 cycle oil.

I'm not running the custom one, I only used it a short time because the custom one does not fit with my new strut bar. I am using the cheapy
