Fuel tanks - which, where, who by?

Any recommendations for fuel tanks?

Would be on my MK Indy R1. I have seen OBPs but there must be more? I need delivery preferably as I am too far from MK to drive there and pick up one.

Also.... Fuel lines? What size and material? (R1 is carbed 4XV).

Thanks,

James

You will be needing a mortgage to fill a bigger one though!!!

Try speaking to James at Alloy Racing Fabrications on 01623 835805. His website is Alloy Racing Fabrications

He can produce custom designs and doesn't just do fuel tanks either.

Deneo on here has made us two tanks, I was happy with the original (especially for the price) but the replacement is even better quality.

Recommended.

Is there something wrong with the MK tanks?

No not at all (as far as I know!), its just that with them being so far away, for the price of petrol and the time spent going there, I might as well order from someone who can deliver the tank, or at least someone who is closer.

So far then:
OBP
Welderman
Alloy racing fabrications
Deneo

MK charge a tenner for postage, last time I called them. £100 for the tank, £110 if you want a swirl pot.

Still need to sort out a tank for mine.
