The D15 tank would be the right fit. A D14 tank may work but is narrower than the D15 tank and would not match up the the hood panels.

A dozer tank has a tube at the bottom sucking from the center of the tank to the sediment bowel in the corner. Yes a D15 tank will fit and work, but you might run out of fuel on a steep hill side. We have a H3 and I can see the tube in the bottom of Our tank. Andy

I have a good D15 tank available here in Maryland, very near Gettysburg, PA. PM me for details.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

Had that problem on an older JI Case dozer using a farm tractor tank. I silver soldered the tube into the center of the replacement tank and it discharged to a remote mounted sediment bowl and filter. Not original but worked well.
