Does the 00/01 tank fit straight on your bike?
That'd give you a couple more litres to play with if you do a lot of mileage.
I guess it would. When I had the tank off for repair a few years back I drilled a hole in the side of the filler tube. Air escapes there as the level rises up beyond the bottom of the tube so "overfilling" the tank doesn't take long... can usually get 19 litres in.
If I ever need to replace the tank though, I'll hope to get the newer one.

When you filled up, how many liters did you get in mate? If it was close to what you should've put in a pretty much empty tank, all be good, otherwise you could possibly have a shed load of dodgy fuel sitting in the bottom - I had that on my last bike and it basically restricted my range on the reserve tank to about 10 miles from what should've been about 4 liters, ended up emptying out the tank and flushing some redex through it and voila, proper tank range was restored
