19 Litre tank

[leevtr]

Minor prob chaps. Might be a 10 min fix in the morning, but thought I'd ask anyway.

My 19 litre tank is fitted with a vara tap, which is in such a position that its causing the fuel line to pinch when its lowered.

It needs to spin about 90 degrees, but in the direction that means loosening it. I doubt it will turn 270 in the other direction without pinching the o-ring. Like I said it may be a 10 min cure, but thought I'd see if anyone else has done it.
Cheers

Lee IIRC I think there may be two styles of Vara taps. One has the butt at a 90 degree angle as the standards storm tap has. And the other, the butt sticks out towards the rear of tank. A pic would be good trying to figure this one out.

I'll have a looksy tomorrow. Just thinking if I back it off 90 degrees it will leak, which isnt gonna be ideal. Who knows there may be enough in it to back it off along with a bit of instant gasket and happy days. Dont want a bodge job though

It may be a daft question, but can you fit a 19L tank onto a bike that has the smaller 17L tank? Of so do you have to make any modifications?

Yep it's easy but finding one ain't

That's what he's doing Bertiew.

Biggest problem seems to be finding a 19l tank.

I've just got one Lloydie...


It's already attached to a bike tho...

I've had one for 11 months Mac and I've only been riding firestorms for 1 and a half months

I'll keep my eyes open for one then.

I have two, none of which are connected to any bike... The ironic part is that I have been looking for six years for one... And now two turns up...

I was just about to ask you if you wanted to sell one then I saw you're location.

[lloydie]

I've been after one for two no three years :-( but now it's for the track bike

you lot ought to get yourself backache.

I reckon 100 miles on the bike and I would be ready for a chiropractor

Depends on the pace an setup... On my roadbike, I can barely push it to 100 miles on the 16L, but that's babying it... On the trackbike, I'd be happy to make 50, seeing as it gobbles up the go-juice like an addict... Both needs a bigger one, since its starting to piss me off...
