Needed b4 gas tank
« on: April 01, 2014, 10:38:51 AM »
I need a fuel tank to a 92 b4. I would prefer one that is not rusted out. Mine was pitted, I tried to seal it but it still leaks like a civ.

If I cant find one I will part the bike out. The engine is running, completely rebuilt with 10 miles on it. everything is good on the bike too and I have spares. Let me know if you have/need anything.

I have a tank that I can give you.  It's not pretty to look at but it doesn't leak. 

It does have the usual light surface rust inside that is almost always present in a 22 year-old motorcycle fuel tank.

I'm in eastern Washington state.  I can put up some pictures of the tank later today if you're interested.

(The reason this tank is surplus to me is that I have a total of 3 in my garage right now, counting the one I'm offering to you.)

... although, from your other posts it sounds like you're more interested in selling/parting the bike.

If you're willing to give the tank to me I will surely pay for shipping.

I would rather get the bike on the road, but I have been so frustrated with the tank issue that I've been contemplating getting rid of it.

here's what my surplus B4 tank looks like.  as I said it doesn't leak, only light surface rust inside but not too pretty to look at on the outside.  the paint job on it is obviously not original (it has faded out from the sun and has crazed and cracked where exposed to fuel) and there is an old repaired dent on the right-hand side that has some rust in it (see pictures).  on the bottom of the tank the paint was eroded by fuel when the seal between the tank and petcock failed at some time in the past (before I purchased the bike).

Looks good to me. How would you like to do the transaction?
