I think I need a fuel tank! - Page 2

FYI. My tank is metal. A canadian co. DAYMAK.COM is where I bought my bike. They sell replacement tanks for my 150cc eagle. Don't know if it will fit your bikes? 6.5L. 70$ I think. Sure looks like samM's picture, but metal. Don't know if this helps, just another idea. N2r.

Yeah the new ones on the DB-07Bs we got have metal tanks under the plastic covers. I was pleasantly surprised.

My GY-5 has a plastic tank, I think its a different design though. I dont see any plastic welds on it?

I remember reading a review somewhere that had the same problem. Right where the petcock screws on, the plastic weld snapped off. I think they ended up ordering a new one.

Jetmoto cheap replacements.

Yeah, that second one is the one. Looks like a perfect match, and that's a pretty good price too!

Tom had a Hi-Bird that he had taken some parts from already. He is sending me the tank from that bike. It cost me $80 with shipping but I got the fuel valve with it too. I think that was a pretty good deal. I may have taken the chance on the Jetmoto tank for $39.99 though. Oh well!

Hopefully, Viva will send me a replacement tank and I'll have a collection of tanks available if someone else has a problem.

As small as these tanks are, maybe you could fab up a double decker!!
