Hello All ,
Apologies if this has been covered already on here .
I am thinking of going down the route of running a 25mm dellorto on my GT 186 kit without the airbox and using a remote filter ( marchald looks good ? ) and would like a standard looking larger fuel tank and i don't really want a stainless one . Any thoughts on who may stock a quality tank ? , i have looked at CAMLAM and Diablo Moto ( i cant see Diablo motos because their website is being updated ) also will i need a rear exit type fast flow tap due to the positioning of where the fuel tap fits ?.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

There are some standard looking ones from the far east but the quality is hit and miss. I had two and they both leaked from where the thread for the tap is welded on. In fact that makes the quality miss and miss.

Will you still be using the tool box as a tool box ? If not, you could get it done like this...I know this is in stainless, but my other scoot has this done with the old metal tank and tool box.

Also, the rear exit fuel tap is better in my eyes, as the petrol pipe could rub against the engine mount on a normal down feed. I have the rear ones on both of mine for that reason.

I have a diablo tank which he made with a small toolbox in the front. Don't need a rear exit fuel tap for a ts1 but might make pipe routing easier.joeswoonara wrote:

I usually do these 12 litre ones in various guises. Right cut out, left cut out, twin cut outs, some that bolt in and some that use extended straps. At the minute I'm completely out of them until early March when the next batch arrives. They're around the £100 mark.Timbo wrote:Corrado on here is the man. http://www.justlambretta.com/
