Where the pipes go inside the petrol tank

Just in case you were wondering:

Now you know where the small and large pipes go to that exit under the petrol tank.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Yes! You rock man. I was just looking for this information.

Since I need to paint my tank anyways, I was going to crack it open and modify it for more capacity. Now that I know what it looks like inside (tubes), I can proceed 8)

The thinner one of the 2 was blocked on my 19 litre tank, causing the bike to cut out every 5 mins. All sorted now though.

Tony, do you happen to have a shot a little further away? Or is this all cut up and missing? I was wondering where the metal lines went, from what's shown in the picture untill the bottom of the tank. I'm assuming they just follow the profile of the back of the tank, correct?

Yep, then vertically down to the exits. You can see them in the filler cap; don't use a match to help you see better......

There's a joke in this somewhere, about peering inside a fuel tank and you guys using the word "torch" for flashlight :biggrin
