    Fuel tanks

    I just went into two different stores and asked about long range tanks. One was 130 lts, the other was 125 lts I think. Two different brands. One store told me there were cracking issues with one brand and I'm not really sure if I can mention names? Has anyone has ANY issues with leaks/cracks, or any other issues? I've seen different brands mentioned on shows like All4adventure, and I guess they must be ok if those guys rely on them in the middle of nowhere. Cheers.

    If you can get 2 sill tanks they’ll get less beating and you will have much better departure angle

    As a second thought get them to show you where they sit when mounted... might be a Benefit re departure angle between the two

    I thought about the two small tanks, but not overly keen on lines going every where, pumps or new holes in body for mounts/fill points. The biggest issue I have is carrying all my fuel in the one tank. I normally carry 3 jerries in the back. Thanks for the replies.
