Has anyone seen this spare fuel tank before?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260323768975&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNA:MOTORS:1123

This looks like a nice accessory. It's a 2 gallon spare fuel tank that fits flush in the right rear trunk well. It's for the w123, made by Kissling. Have you seen anything like this before? I've seen other spare fuel tanks for the w123 on e-bay before that fit into the spare tire well, but nothing like this. I wonder if you can get this anywhere else.

i've seen a couple spare tanks on ebay and one on craigs i almost got a while ago, i like how this one fits in the wheel-well-hole though because my 5 gallon piece of crap does a lot of flying around in my trunk i only keep about 2 gallons in it though lol.

by the way, i love the "ketchup interior" that's one i haven't heard before

Yes

That one's labeled "benzin" - gasoline. I'm sure diesel wouldn't hurt it.

You used to be required to carry a small empty fuel can and you can get a ticket if you run out on the Autobahn.

That one also had a spout with it.

I searched "300d" on e-bay and it was there. It's not mine, unfortunately.
Also, my car is basically the Mcdo mobile, gold fries exterior and ketchup interior.
