these are very interesting as I want to run a breathe sweet filter and cant with the large long range tanks. the seperate tanks with gap is great

Just heard some bad reviews on the TSR tank that I have sat in garage, but maybe mine will be fine, and the white one I have same as above also leaks, maybe just stick to small tank and stay intown :)
heavy is good, heavy is reliable, and if it does fail, hit them with it!!!

[quote="bizzly"]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.

How does this set up work ? do they both have a petrol tap ?
if not how does fuel flow from the Toolbox tank to the petrol tank as the feed pipe looks quite high up.
win or lose have a booze

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.

Bit puzzled with this one ??
The connecting pipes are very high up ??
Surely for the "toolbox" tank to work the pipes should be at the bottom ??

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.

This is what I used with my Super Monza; excellent quality and fitment.

Purchased from justlambretta.com - excellent service, good prices and quality parts :)

Broady did me a smilar set up (not sure if he still does this conversion) about 10 years ago, which had an upper and lower connecting pipe between the orginal petrol tank and toolbox.

It's not very clear in the pic above, but it looks as though there is another connecting pipe - between the two - coming out of the bottom (far side) of the toobox, which one would assume then connects with the petrol tank.

Hi mate,

With only using a 30 mil carb, I'm hoping the mpg won't turn out too bad.

But, based on a very rough guestimate of 6 litres of fuel used on a recent 50 mile round trip (i've only done 250 miles approx total so far, before winter/bad weather set in) which included a mixture of A roads, B roads, bit of motorway etc, I'd say about 35 mpg.

Once the weather improves, and I can put some more miles on it (where I'll hopefully be getting faster and faster, and therefore using more fuel!) I'll be able to give you a more accurate figure, as like I said, this is a real guestimate!

Cheers :)
