Extra oil..

Wonder how one of these would go to increass the oil capasity...

Mount it where the oil cooler sits on some TTRs.. pumb it into the

oil cooler fittings... looks like it would hold the pressure...

they hold 0.75 liter....

Peter, I don't really see that as an additional oil supply tank for a TTR. disbelief

It is sold as a "catch tank" which to me implies the catching of oil drips and mist from breather pipes.

An oil supply tank would have to withstand hot oil in constant flow and also a bit of pressure - something tells me that tank isn't the right fitment. confuse

It seems well produced, but the connecting pipes don't look man  enough to me.

If you decide to try it please give us all a report of how it performs for you.

Martyn

i really can't see much of a issue with the pressure or heat...
the oil pressure that a motor works at is next to nothing..
the alloy & O-rings will handle 200 deg with out knowing they
are doing it...
The side pipe with the pnumatic snap lock fittings will be gone
holes pluged with 1/8" BSPT plugs... only use the 2 top fitting
holes with the pipe tails in them... if lucky they may have a JIS
thread in them that hydrulic fittings will screw into...

Maybe I should start with a bit of 100mm alloy bar & spend a few hours
on the lathe...

but that tanks a lot cheaper than a bit of 7075 solid alloy bar... will try the tank first...



Pete

For what it is worth.. The top looks to be a separate piece held on with screws, that would need to be oil tight at pressure. If you only use the top two connections, what is to stop the oil short cutting between the connections? It would be better to come in at the top and out at the bottom. The other top connection could be used as a vent.
I suspect it will be fairly thin gauge material, and would be susceptible stone punctures.
