Vit 1.6 swb efi tank = 50 Litres

Post by BlueSuzy »

Hi all. Since my prestine coily tank has been bent up in my sierra after my baleno conversion. I was going to put the bigger swb efi vit tank in. Is it 60L? and the lwb bigger?

I will be guarding this one.. so it doesnt turn into 20L..

Any help thanks! have looked in the vit bible but it doesnt seem true..

Yeah, they're about 42l from memory.

I think the LWB is 55, and the GV is 70 or 75.

LWB doesn't really fit between the chassis from memory and GV definitely doesn't - it's huge.

50L to the hole of the pump by filling litre by litre of water. Yes it was a long process..

lol, at least you washed it out, lets hope its fairly dry when you fill it up with non-ethanol blended petrol (if not put in the metholated spirits, its ethanol and it will absorb the droplets)

I'd say they were planning on welding on a box section one to the very back - rear bar style.

LWB does mostly fit between the rails, the seam that goes around the middle of the tank sits below the rails (it wont fit between em).
You will have to either chop the rear crossmember or the shock mount crossmember. I chopped out the shock crossmember and welded in a new one around 100mm further forward i think it was.

Yeah my tank will be sitting for a whille while i make a bashplate around it while its off so it should dry by when i put it in.

So the water helps for 2 things..Measureing. And washing petrol out, less fires when welding around it!

That tracker tank is huge! I didnt want to go too cutting bits too far as i dont have a welder at my place. I do have a welder at work which i will be making a bolt on bracket or 2 for the back.
