fuel tank repairs

<< < (3/3)

ScrumpyJack:
I know things can look worse than they are, but your tank is looking pretty bad :lol:
I would defiantly go for a new one :wink:

blackbob:
that tanks scrap mate :(

ian_s:
the only part that has actually been eaten away is the area around the holes, the rest of the tank appears to be just surface rust

but i'm gonna get a new one anyways

ScrumpyJack:
the problem is the holes are look like they have formed from rust, although the rest might seem solid unless you cleeen it all up like that shiney spot above the hole, you wont know if there is any more holes forming, ditch it for an easy life.

does the 90 tank fit a series???

Yes it does with no problems, I've got one on my Series 2. It just looks different to the  original but is a better design. But who's going to crawl aroud under to see anyway - unless you're a sad river counter :lol:  :lol:

There is one problem that I have that the sender on the 90 tank doesn't seem compatible with the fuel gauge. It goes down very fast to half way but I've still got loads in the tank. It shows nearly empty when there's about half a tank left - any ideas on that one? The gauge used to read fine with the old tank and sender unit.
