i have the 9 liter it uses clunk pick up

 

[Ericfox]

Thanks man

yup also got the 9liter, As a side note: their gass caps have a built in oneway air vent. most people bought an extra nipple and 5200 it to the cap. I have been extremely successful with just the built in vent.. maby help you save a few bucks if your on a budget

 

[Ericfox]

hopefully the 8.5 liter is cool.... why did you guys get the 9 liter? just for that extra .5 liters or was there a greater reason?

 

[DAG]

good fit, cheaper and has that extra .5

9 Liter here and love it:biggthumpup:

what other fittings did you order to get that 9.0 liter tank to be setup like in the picture? You just have one clunk pickup right? the other is just fitting for the return line? looks like the one to the left is the vent?

Thanks

depends if your running singl or dule carbs

Bross tank is set is is 2 pickups(right most) fule return(left) vent is the built in oneway within the cap.. (note the tiny hole in the cap)

 

[Ericfox]

is it safe to vent fuel tank to the engine compartment? better to install fitting into the cap to the stock tank vent perhaps?

most people are venting back into the engine compartment with extreme modded ski's.

my old 'ski was not extreme, but i vented back with no problems.

i went w the 9 liter because it was as large as they had
if a oem would have fit then id have oem
im expecting frequent fuel stops

k... I might change my order tomorrow to the 9 liter tank... I guess there is no reason why not to change it... cheaper and .5 liters more....

Did you get your extra fittings through that company? I should prob. purchase an extra fuel pickup clunk line now in anticipation of running dual 44s or more in the future eh?

when i ordered mine it came with 1 clunk pick up and i dont think the cap is vented
its a diff color than the above pic and i didnt see any hole in it
i have always vented into the hull without problems
it was 56$ shipped to me
