[fowler]

Cool !! Love the gas tank , how much does it hold ? Was thinking of using a small beer keg myself for mine , lol

 

[AnderBlast]

it holds 5 liters man

 

[88s10Durango]

So cool , wouldn`t be enough for me though , my 600cc yammy will drink the gas when I`m playing , my second idea is to buy a 5 gal. portable air tank , remove the un needed valves , hose and such . Weld in a filler neck and a fuel petcock bung , not sure if I`de have to line the inner part of the tank though to prevent rust ?

 

[AnderBlast]

no i wouldnt say youd get much fun out of 5liters a portable air tank would ;ool good aswel

Hi thanks for that link ,do you know if the air tank was coated with anything on the inside ? Or is the steel of the tank okay with the gas not rusting it out ? Sorry to HyJack this thread

 

[newrider3]

Keep it full (or at least somewhat filled) and it'll never rust. Thousands of gastanks are produced every year with no rustproofing whatsoever.
