Hi Sitec - that is one serious looking set of tanks. Very impressive. Did you work out the final volume yet?

Not yet, but I will when I fill them for the first time in the next few weeks! Each tank is 690mm long, 490mm wide and 290mm tall for those who are good at maths.. The tapers are 100mm on the 45deg flat though that will only cost me a few litres each side... :)
Not including the thickness of the steel or any baffles, pickup, fuel pump, etc them the capacity of each tank is has a theoretical capacity of around 94.5 litres. Say 90 to be realistic, so 180 all up - that's what I need on mine.:D
Top job.
That's a fair capacity. £260 to fill with diesel at UK prices though. That's scarey!!!
About $260 or so over here, but decent range with a deisel i suppose. If I had those tanks on my petrol version, I'd still be filling up before I got to 700KM...;)Quote:

I didn't buy it for its economy though...:D

Re the 180 litres... If I can get between 1000 and 1200 kms on that I'll be happy, especially as half of it will be veg oil!
£154 in Sterling. That's depressing.Quote:

I wonder if we should send you fuel and you send us parts...
Ian.
We could send Sitec over in his fuel tanker and then fill the back of his 101 with parts for the return trip...
It will need a snorkel.
