Part might have been supplied with another part? E.g. a regular one today is the wiring grommets in headlight and oif do not have a number in the parts book, because then they were supplied by Lucas with the wiring loom; today, they do have a separate part number, simply ask a dealer, write the number in your parts book for future reference."Meriden Misprints". Parts books were only ever intended to help dealer staff find parts for customers. Because the books were supplied to dealers either free or at very low cost, the books were produced as cheaply as possible. If 83-7113 produced an identical Tawny Brown and Gold tank as the one to be replaced on the customer's bike, who cares the capacity is misprinted in the 78 parts book? So time was not spent over every piffling, irrelevant detail; if something needed correcting, it would have been in an update sheet. "3.6 US gallons" is simply a hangover from the earliest oif tanks, based on the pre 71 TR6R tank shell afaict.
