Bought through 'justgastanks', some notes on the install.
- Forward mounting tab fits where gas tank vent line fitting is. Had to oblong the hole twoards the rear about 3 mm, so tank strap location would line up.
- Had to use the bikes gas tank seat tab with Safari supplied screw. Had to grind 4 mm off one edge so the seat would be far enough forward for the seat screw to line up.
The Tank is supposed to hold 3.6 gallons. Beacuse the same mold is used for the 4 strokes and 2 strokes the area above the carb where the fuel valve is, is open and wasted space on the two strokes. Another 4/10 ths of a gallon could have easily fit there. The price difference between the Clarke 3.2 and this tank makes me feel a little cheated on that account.
The tank is expertly made with brass well nuts cast in and the right red color. It came with cap. fuel valve with on/off/reserve and new fuel line.
