Different Style Tanks?

[Dan]

any size you can marry to the carb fuel intake. Can get some cool old world, brass shut-off valves at ace hardware. 1/4 or 3/16 will fit a chinagirl. 1/4 inch can be sloppy and need a small hose clamp. Just my humble opinion.

Cool part of any thing DIY. Your the designer and can splice in a garden hose if ya want one.

What size garden hose do you use? Will my bike run faster? Can you get see through garden hose? Interesting.

With a BIG gas filter w/ replacable cartridges like I had on my old Econoline......starvation a thing of the past, for good

Man, I loved the fuel system on my old E150! Could climb in and get to any thing. My car now needs a computer to talk to another computer to say whats wrong but needs a third to translate. My check engine lite has been on for 6 months!

Was thinking about that today Scotto. Could really do a cool filter with a couple of inches of brass pipe or tube and real steel wool and a coffee filter cone at the bottom or some filter substance. With a small magnet for rust? I dunno if rust is still noble enough to be attracted to a magnet.

Was sort of tank and topic related. Hey, I'm getting closer.

Rust is attracted to magnets very well.

 

[corgi1]

I know Fords stick to magnets real good. lol

 

[silverbear]

Rust is attracted to magnets very well.

...and I am attracted to rust. Does this mean I am magnetic?
Awesome!

I seem to be attracted to rusty cool looking objects too. They are usually very easy to clean up and restore, and I typically get them for free.

What does anyone think about these tanks

They are not sold as fuel tanks, but modifying should not be a big issue

I like moped tanks. I have ten or so different styles saved over the years I plan to use on future projects. My first motorized bike sports a Yamaha JT1 small dual purpose bike tank. The other photo shows another one of my bikes with a Kriedler moped tank. Both hold plenty and have totally different looks depending on the desired effect.

Ooops, I just realized, that is an old pic. That is with 49cc motor and a modified pocket bike pipe. The bike now has a 66cc motor with the pipe designed usin the Javapipe program. Here's how it looks now.

Marvin Martian: what kind of tires are those??? They Look sick!
