New fuel tank
Finally got the new fuel tank made and fitted. It is aluminium and 105 litre capacity. Which is fortunate as it puts me under having to get a bigger fire extinguisher.
Manged to fill it before the price rise in petrol, and took it for a run and at the weight is more forward than the previous tank and it seems to make the ride and handling a little better.
The big test will be the Apollo Bay tuna comp.

I was looking at larger, but 105 was the largest they could go.smile0784 wrote:I thought you were looking at 120lt?

As too economy, I get about 2 ks per litre
