Raid tank - up your fuel capacity to 16 litres very cheaply!
Permalink  
 

Raid tanks are a cheap upgrade to get almost double the capacity of the OE metal tanks. They have a capacity of 16 litres.

This one has quite a crease but is petrol tight and the bottom looks very solid.

I haven't tried it but the crease may possible be "blown" out by pressurising the tank else a panel beater could get in there with a special hammer. Otherwise just leave it as it is!

 £20 collected or else an extra £8.50 to send by courier.

So with the crease about 15.5 litres then?!... winkconfusesmile

So as to avoid bodyshop labour costs, I have just put a load of filler in a deep crease and painted myself before, it didn't seem to matter how deep the filler was..

LOL - yeah - never thought of measuring a dent or crease like that. Approx. 0.5 litre crease biggrin

If I wanted to use it I would go the filler route wink

The photos below show the tank mounting points on the purple frames:

Here are the metal tank fittings:

The clip that holds the tank at the front top

The later frames could be modified as you will see from the photo below perhaps using parts from a scrap purple frame?

Yes I recall seeing the pics before. Should be an easy mod.

It's not a great fit!

BTW, I had a visitor and posted the guide before completed. I have now updated it with the other parts used.
