T: Fuel Tank Temporary fuel tank for carb tuning?

[Bernhard_Austria]

I Used an 5l oil canister, modified the bottom side for fitting a hose and fixed it with cable ties. Not beautiful but worked pretty well with a good Range.

To answer my own question, I ordered a couple of cheap-ish plastic fuel tanks to try for size. One worked quite well. I found it on Amazon (where else?): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B088R4N18S

I've attached a few photos. I used two medium zip ties through the normal tank mounting holes on the top rear end of the UFM and a big zip tie at the front of the plastic tank that straddled the underside of the UFM. Hopefully, the photos will show the arrangement.

The plastic tank came with a petcock attached. I put some fuel in and nothing's leaked (yet).

Thanks for your input!

I have been looking at some smaller bikes , At auto jumbles, For the same,
But not found one yet.
My next bike I want to test, Has an oil and petrol tank in one ,
So I am stuffed on that !.

Just a thought, Ron and me built a Comet for a friend,
With a standard carb',
And we just took the top off the float chamber , And I stood there, Topping it up !!.
Lots of FUN.
Cheers Bill.

It seems, Ron, that you aren´t afraid of oiling yr trousers by the left open ATD cover...

That's why I stood the other side ,
I was a bit worried that nothing came out !, But we had only just built it,
I checked and the oil was getting to the bits !.
We were given a Velo Mag' Which Spins the wrong way , So had to re position the cam ring,
And had a few problems, But we sorted it, And found out a lot about Mag's !!.
Cheers Bill.

Some times you have get on your Knees and Pray .
