Hi All!

Am nearly finished completely rebuilding my 84 FL250. All is stock and looking good, at least to me.
The last thing on my project list is adding a 8-10 gal spun alum gas tank. I trail ride alot so need
a much extended range. Will purchase if I have to but would rather trade my stock FL250 motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )).
It is apart and media blasted. Nothing new installed on it but is ready for rebuild if wanted. It was
running before I got it from my boss (was his grandkids) but I was gonna rebuild for a spare. The
Engine I am using was professionally rebuild from the bottom up.

Thanks !

I think I have one that is about 10 gal. 10 gal tank is big! I don't have any mounting straps for it though. I pull it out of the shed tomorrow. PM me and we can work out the details.

10g is huge friend. Here is my fl250 with a 5g I think. I think a 10g would stick way out the side.

that's a 3 gallon tank, here's a 5 gallon.

I think a 10 gallon tank would be serious overkill, not to mention WAY too big, even the 5 gallon is protruding outside the cage.

The 5 gallon tank will give you an easy 4 hour ride time, more if you're not heavy on the throttle all the time.

Your right it is a 3g tank. I got another 3g in my blue Ody.

that's a nice collection you have. How did that big tire one drive? I kind of like the looks...

I understand it if you are dropping in a rotax and there isn't any room but otherwise, why do you want to move all of that weight so high up?
If you are trying to gain pressure add or put the pump back. Mine seem pretty reliable.
