Gas tank options on Mega Moto 80 Predator swap

[tc11zzz]

What are you using for your relocated Gas Tank on Moto 80 with 212cc and torque converter?

I didn’t have a TC, but did raise the motor mounting plate in the frame, so may have created similar constraints…. Anyway, I made brackets and reused the original MM80 tank. It’s a lot narrower top to bottom.

Several aftermarket tanks available on the market.

I think reusing the original tank from the smaller engine with custom brackets for the 212. Like @DaddyJohn did, looks nice and clean.

Is the "10 oz" you stated a typo? That small of a quantity will be very little run/riding time.

The non-hemi 212 Predator uses an off center fill. I swapped tanks on my Trail Horse, for the same reasons you have issues. These tanks are available on line every where and a bolt on replacement. 6.5 HP (212cc) OHV Horizontal Shaft Gas Engine, EPA (harborfreight.com)

I wouldn’t put on anything less than a gallon unless you just put around the yard or drag race.

my tillotson will burn up gas. I was bored one day and dumped exactly a gallon in. Did my 10 mile trail route and came back and sucked it back out. Couldn’t get all of it so it’s not exact but I had just under a half gallon. So maybe 20 miles to the gallon.

I run it hard on that loop. Lots of wide open gravel roads, and a lot of off throttle then back wide open burst through the woods along with 3 pretty good hill climbs

I believe he means a 10" long tank not 10 Oz. Holds .31 gallon

Oh man your right it is 10 “
GPS sells it and I mounted mine with the rascal fuel tank bracket kit right under the front two frame tubes so the filler neck winds up at the widest area between the tubes just where they meet the steering neck
It’s really a clean install
The frame parts and pieces are all at the powder coaters
Should have everything this week will post some photos once it’s assembled

I'm just using a cylinder tank I got off Ebay that is mounted behind the seat. Used some worm clamps and zip ties to keep it on there.

Here's another spot you can add a round tank to. Size of tank would depend on space available for your bike. Tank is fastened to the engine. I like the look too!
