Fuel Tank Mounting
Anyone know if the fuel tank has to be mounted with straps over the top or can it be bolted up through the bottom woth some welded lugs on the
bottom?
Thanks

tape.

Yes either. Mine is fitted using straps, but others have used lugs and bolted direct to the chassis. Production cars have in the past used both
methods also. There are no SVA issues either way.

some people have suggested that welding lugs onto an ally tank and bolting directly to the chassis will lead to cracking around the welds due to
vibration...

I`ve got mine bolted direct to the chassis with rivnuts and spring washers, It`s a stainless tank with channel welded to the underside bolted through
this. No problems yet!!

Tank was made by bryn at Allyfab to my sizes
just gave him a drawing and dimenions. pump is from a zx6r but is the same as the 10r and regulates the line pressure internally so only one line is
needed
it holds 4 gallons but needed to be smaller than normal to fit between the exhaust silencers in the back

Have I got this correct?
60cm * 25cm * 21cm is about 6.3 gallon tank?
