Guest Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 yea i am watching, just checking if i can put any other tank on as well. not sure i want one with a fuel shut off tap on it, the vf seems to have a few problem with them. Quote
Guest Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 hi back again still looking for a tank really looking to put another one on from anything else, anyone got any suggestions?just fed up with trying to clean this one out and honda no longer make the filters available for it. the pitcock assembly is a bugger Quote
Tango Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 So what exactly is the problem with this tank. Is it rusty inside? Will another fuel tap fit it or could you put an inline fuel filter in the pipe from the tank to the carbs?Bob Quote
Guest Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 all ok now I thinktook apart and cleaned tank again - it seems to run if yhe pitcock is left on reservepaul Quote
eastanglianbiker Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 strip the petcock down clean it out and fit service kit in it with new seals and if need be use petseal in fuel tank to seal tank and that will hold any rust back from going into fuel line Quote
