I'm getting confused by the different links I find.

The drum tanks are 400 ltrs for the pair, 1200 ltrs internal?

Does the T72 have internal tanks not counting the ones on the right side pannier?

Could a T72 actually operate with no pannier tanks? If one pannier tank became damaged could it be removed and bypassed?

Hi Jeff;

The T-72 had internal tanks, and the fuel panners were made to be replaced when needed, they were held on by retaining straps. The Panners were made of Aluminum.

CHEERS; MIKE.
