Fuel Tank for Bike Carbs
907 - 2/3/09 at 10:11 PM

Hi All

I have a fuel tank to make for a Zetec engined car with ZX9 bike carbs.
I presume a bike fuel pump will be used.

The tank will have a bottom that will slope at 45deg front to back, if that makes any difference.

What do I need in the way of connections?
Anything special inside?


Many thanks

Just petrol matey.

I think it's just the fuel injection systems that need fancy tanks

Makes a pleasant change for something to turn out simple.

What he said. One hole for fuel in, and a smaller one for fuel out. Oh and maybe a hole for a fuel sender. Or, if you're like me, a straight pipe for fuel in and a dip stick.

Plus a breather

Might be worth speaking to customer to see if a return may be needed in future,possible injection TB's upgrade.

O Bob, if only it was a customer. It's for "the boy" (Epona number 1)

I'll tell him I need a breather.
I must have a heart of gold.


DIY Si. Made a mental note. Just a dipstick hole required.
