the 60 litre tank is much harder to fit than the 48 litre tank - which basically slide straight into place.
Two man job fitting a 60 litre tank, even then it is a hateful job

Mine was fine its well protected from the elements. I wouldn't have any worries about sticking with the original tank from a corrosion point of view.

I'm really sorry to mess up Joe's thread but would it be feasible to enlarge the stock tank? I mean, the shape of the 48l tank would be possible to transfer into the steel tank, yes?
Just a quick thought, I'll leave now

Also not wishing to mess up the group buy thread but. I'm not fussed about range but would like to prevent fuel surge.
Is the PA tank the only option or are there any other solutions (swirl pot..)?
Any links/threads would be useful.
Thx

Swirl pot indeed.
Just add up the pot, extra pump and hosing for fair comparison.

Smiley, sounds like you've looked into it/thought about it.
Is cost similar (tank vs swirl pot)? Presumably the tank has the advantage of being simpler and also increases range. Any benefits to swirl pot approach?

Looking at about £400-450 just for parts alone and then you need to fit it all. For an extra £100 you get the fuel surge fixed and added range. Plus less weight compared to the 5-10kgs added with the swirl pot set up. It's the only reason I'm buying it other wise I'd of fitted a swirl pot.Smiley, sounds like you've looked into it/thought about it. Is cost similar (tank vs swirl pot)?

It's just a shame to have to hide the ProAlloy tank inside the chassis, it is a work of art
