Been looking at a few Storm tanks, and I was wondering if there are any visual clues to tell a 16l from a 19l?

Re: Tanks
Apart from being bigger - the 19L has a different fuel tap arrangement and different decals.
It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

BSM will have told everyone within seconds of it being up there.
Try the German site, ebay.de
Even with P+P they seem to be cheap sometimes, probably due to type approval making it difficult to fit secondhand/non-approved parts.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Re: Tanks
719 euros lol!!!!! jeez i thought mine was dear at 40 quid!
is it really worth spending that much for another 3L of fuel lol.... when you're averaging 7 miles to the litre?
bargains do come along now & then though.... but theres so many people after them.
just a point with the 19L.... you have to use the level sensor from the 16L tank - the 19L sensor is totally different and will probably set your bike on fire as it works on a coil (rheostat) rather than a simple microswitch - if you forget to swap it for the 16L sensor, you will be passing 12v through a coil of wire immersed in fuel, which is probably not such a good idea lol
my reserve light still comes on at the same mileage as it did with the 16L, and if i fill at the light im adding about 14L.
the only difference is there's still 5L left which works out about 35 - 50 mile depending how i ride.
cba bending the wire on the float lol. might get round to it one day.

You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.

eeeew bitchy mr mon
trust me there are lots of interesting items that i don't post, and as far as 19l tanks go, there are always people looking for them so i doubt a bargain is in the offing although you never know....
HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!
Re: Tanks
Not whinging, I'm just having to look further afield to find a bargain with no bids on...
All's fair in love and Ebay bidding, after all.
