I was told that Sporto and 930 oil tanks are the same; they both use an extra oil return.

If I could find the stock 930 tank I took off to fit the extended/baffled one, i'd snap a picture of it...

I don't think so. The ones I've seen have two fitting on the flat service by the S hose connector. Did you check the numbers against the PET? Do you have the part numbers?

Edit: switched computers for a better view. If the two things on the face toward the bottom are male fittings (?) then I believe it is a sport-o tank. Still would be best with better pics or part number.
