GeoffB - 6/9/04 at 08:15 PM

i've bought a tank at the donnie show
..ally tank seems really nicely made..does anybody know if running a 97 blade engine with electric pump mean i would/would not have to use the return feed and if not how do i block it up

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for the tank?


GeoffB - 6/9/04 at 08:42 PM

£95..not sure if its a good price but it was there i needed one and took it to work and showed the welders who were impressed with the quality.

As the blade engine is carbed you do not need a return to tank. if the tank is fitted with a breather just block it off with a bit of old pipe and a bolt
or get a non return (one way valve) and plumb it in as a breather

£95 sounds good but £60 sounds better

MY tank is stainless.

I do a standard tank for book/mk cars in Alli for £60

Can do you an Avon tank as per the tiger book In alli for £60.

Stainless costs a bit more at the moment because the material is currently quite expensive.

Viper,

Is that the same dims as per the book? or is it your own design to fit a standard book chassis?

If its your own design can you give me rough meaqurements so i can check it in my chassis.

Cheers
