Default Honda? gas tank ID please...picture included

My friend got the old Honda? ATV for free. It's fuel tank is beyond repair and he needs a new one BUT we don't know what the model is. Can someone ID this tank please? It has a fuel gauge on top, something I've not seen before.

I'm unable to attach images so here's a couple links to the tank in question.

Thats an Trx 250 fourtrax tank! the 1985 thru 1987 in the same tank! Get an plastic tank is the best thing to do.

Thanks for the identification. I went to eBay looking for a 85-87 TRX 250 tank and got lots of tanks that look different. Of course some were 250R, 250X, 250EX, etc....

I'm assuming I need a plain TRX 250 but those were $180+ on eBay (new). This might be a long hard search for a cheap used tank that fits.

Thanks a million! Your suggestions forced me to look into it closer and found one for $109 brand new (plus shipping).

This one should fit fine.
