Just had another crashed carb and tank drained on the Olympic they are increasing the ethanol additives which is dissolving tanks and hoses and parking it in the carbs. . . b expensive and not being widely advertised as all differing petrol companies add different amounts to be 'green'. I am now deciding whether to strip out the fibreglass tanks but if so which tanks fit best two mini tanks with a link hose or any other bright ideas HELP please . Ros

Hi
I am going to have an alli one made to line the spare wheel space, leave the old tanks in to give the rear end a bit of strength.
I hope then to bond a shelf over the tank to carry the spare wheel and also to add a liittle more pretection for the tank, not that I am looking to get hit but you never know today.

John
