Petrol Tank - Any Suggestions

[Nigel Rogers 8]

Hi All,

 

I am looking at replacing the Sierra petrol tank in my 2B/4, Kit Spares do a tank for the 2B although they have none in stock at the minute.

 

Can anyone recommend a 30 litre(ish) petrol tank for the 2B?

 

Cheers

Nige

Normally the items out of stock on kitspares are made to order so could try giving them a ring

Just bought a 6.5 gallon alloy tank on eBay for my 2B it is manufactured by Optimum Balance Products Ltd

My m8 runs his own alloy fabrication business, he can make a tank to your spec/diagrams etc.

 

Very reasonable on price and easy to deal with, based in Shropshire about 30 miles from Chester.

 

PM me if you want his number etc

Thanks for your replies, went for a 2B specific one from Kit Spares in the end, now I need to cut the old one into pieces to get it out!

Careful when you cut it!!

Fill the old tank with boiling water to drive out petrol fumes & residue before any cutting.

I'll be looking to fit a larger tank soon as well, let us know how you get on with the Kit Spares jobby!

Well it's out of the car and I am still in one piece

Hand nibblers and tin snips did the trick!
