omega0684 - 14/4/10 at 07:27 PM

I got notification today that my new fuel tank was complete and Bryn @ Ali Fab kindly e-mailed me some photos of it finished in the workshop.





i think it looks MINT! And its BIG! calculated capacity is about 54/55 litres!

Smart, what sort of dosh and time scale if you dont mind me asking ?

Stuart_B - 14/4/10 at 07:32 PM

it looks great, i bet that cost some money.

beats my 26 liter tank.

the boxing i take it is to keep the fuel where the pick up is? or is it for the fuel sender as well?

Bryn @ Allyfab made my tank too - very nice workmanship and the price wasn't at all scary either. Mine was a custom shape and I sent him a piece of cardboard to use as a cross section template and specified where all the inlets and outlets went. Total capacity is about 40 litres and it cost £150 + £12 delivery. Made in aluminium with two baffles splitting the tank into three sections and with a cylindrical sump 30mm deep with holes drilled between the main tank and sump to provide surge control. The pickup comes from the sump.

I can't recommend Allyfab enough. Good choice omega!

Another recommendation for Bryn. Made my fuel tank and shortened sump on ZX9R, prices aren't scary at all.
