SXR 6.6 Gallon Fuel Tanks

[LimitedSlip7]

All kidding aside, Iam interested in you making me a tank for my 750. I'll even buy a used 750 tank and send to you for design purposes. Your tanks are incredible!! Pm me if interested...

You can shoot me a pic, although one-off or very small runs of tanks are much more expensive. Just don't think there would be enough of a market to make one. I had a hard enough time just selling 10 of the SXR 800 tanks. I wish I had my own laser and press brake! I could definitely make them cheaper then...

Starting a pre-order list to see if I can get enough interest to make another batch of these. I've got one name down so far, just need a few more!

Can someone tell me if it's normal for my SXR to run like it's starving for fuel when low on fuel and still the same when I put it on reserve? I thought reserve was actual fuel supply, but mine acts like it's stalling even on reserve.

Just put yer name down for a bigger tank and problem solved! Lol

 

[LimitedSlip7]

It's looking like I've got enough interest to make another batch of 6.6/7.1 gallon SXR tanks so if you're interested in one I will be placing part orders early next week. Hopefully will have a few ready to go within 2-3 weeks.

still use stock waterbox on 7 gal tank?

 

[LimitedSlip7]

The 7.1 tank can only be used with a rear waterbox and was designed primarily for the 1100. The 6.6 can be used with the front waterbox and was designed to fit the 800. They could be used with either the 1100 or 800, really just the waterbox location is the limiting factor.

The 6.6 gallon and 7.1 gallon tanks are now back in stock!

Messed with the fittings on my tank what type of sealant should one use ?

I picked up this stuff, it wasint cheap. https://www.supplyhouse.com/Hercules-15811-Megaloc-Thread-Sealant-32-oz

 

[LimitedSlip7]

Yea that stuff should be fine to use. I use Loctite 565 sealant on all of my fittings.

Also curious whats a good pressure point lbs and time to test the tank after I messed with all the fittings ?

Thank you

5 psi is plenty to spot any leaks with soapy water

For some reason the thread preview never showed another post after mine... I ended up leaving 7 pounds in it while at work all day came home to a warm 8-9 pounds on the pop off guage figured that was good

That shouldn't be a problem, I've had 10-15 psi in them before without any issues. The aluminum sheet can start to bow out a bit on the larger flat areas but the welds hold up just fine. If anything, you just slightly increased the fuel capacity. 6.601 gallons!

 

[garrcass]

How many psi do you think a warm 90° half full fuel tank gets ? It always seems like a lot but maybie it's just volume...

Do you offer a fuel tank works with a pfp exhaust in a gen2 x2/sxr?

I'm all out of the 6.6s. Haven't had any interest in a while. If I can get a few people signed up for one I would make a small batch. I do have 7.1g tanks in stock though if you wanted to switch to a rear waterbox.
