metal tank from old brits

Doesn't the corn (when it settles out and combines with H2O) still attack the AL? Which means it needs to be sealed again? Why bother if you can get a FRP tank that is resistant.

I'm sticking with avgas in my unsealed fiberglass tank for now, not that I have to make long trips.

the current fiberglass tank

the metal one appears to be a bit 'fatter' inputs appreciated

yes, when I went from glass to original steel...the tank is absolutely wider thus my fork tubes hit due to a worn down frame stop on my 70!...have to figure something out before I restore this tank. Put the new tank on the bike and see if the fork tubes touch the side of the tank.

I saw some yamaha racing tanks made from Carbon fibre at the stafford bike show, and very nice to! is carbon fibre E proof?

Pre-preg carbon is fine with Efuels.............strange that someone is making carbon tanks for race bikes though, as these cannot be used for racing without special bladders being fitted internally.
