HI IM LOOKING ANY INFO OR PARTS FOR A 1965 TWIN-TURBO VERY RARE NEED A GAS TANK THANKS   warfareracing@yahoo.com

It uses the frame of the Crusader model, so many of those parts should fit,including the gas tank. Crusader Sport had the same style tank.

It's a Villiers 249cc two-stroke twin, so that info might make it easier to find engine parts.

Turbo Twin



Crusader Sport


Apparently, the way they painted the tanks was a ittle different, probably to provide distinction between models. The black rubber knee-pads were stick-ons, and could be on either model.

The earlier Crusaders in the 1950s had the panelled tanks, with the removable chrome panel with the emblem on it.
If you want to use a Crusader tank, use the later Crusader Sport tank from the 1960s, because it is much closer style to your Turbo Twin original tank.
