Obp Fuel Tank

Hi,

 

Does anyone have experience of these fuel tanks? Thinking of replacing impractical fiesta tank in my superspec with one:

Do you really need that much fuel at one go?? It's adding around 100lbs to the rear end.

Dont think you can get the big tank in without removing some bodywork . Im not sure about the 30lt one

 

(I may be shot down over this statement)

My plan was to remove the carbon fibre up top / boot lining, and slide it into place via the top opening........it does look tight when I measured it with the tape measure. This is where my lack fo build knowledge punishes me, what else would be in the way? Would it go in via the opening or does it need to go in sideways (which I guess means removing the wheel arches / back panel!)

30 litre tank is much more sensible and should give a range of easily 150 miles and will do a trackday. Nice to get some baffles in it as well. Even fitting the 30 litre tank involves some dismantling of the rear body work I believe.

if you ring Grant at OBP he may make you one to suit, (he was one of the guys behind Luego )

but i had a 30 ltr in my 2b, and it went in before the back panel.

 

as Nigel said 30 ltrs is good enough for 150 easily ( depending on how many hood i was chasing at the time)
