tank swapping
 

Ok folks, is it easy to swap my tank and pump for another?

I have a new spare set for the track, but you all know how crap I am mechanically and I want to know whether I should give it a go or just find a nice bloke who is willing to help :lol:

what about pump though?

that looks nasty to me!!

i have a green seal kinda thing which I apparently need, but not really certain what I should be doing, will it be obvious if i have a look?

nooo...

i have a spare pump as well, but its not in the tank. So i have to put it in so that I can then swap the tanks easily :D

Probably in the same situation. Procedure would be appreciated (weeksy). Have the hammer ready. :o

Oh god :(

I can't do that :(

Thanks Kev and Steve, but i just don't think me (or my nails) are up for that at the moment.

Oh well, guess the track days will have to wait until I have the confidence to give it a go :(

Send me the tank, o-ring and pump and I will fit it, or I could sell you a yella 996 tank with a small dent and a couple of scuffs with a pump in it?

If you want a laugh read my bit in the last pronto mag, you will know where the scuffs and dint came from then!

and you think she'd send you her tank after that one???............'nuff said :lol::lol::sing::P

Be seeing you soon boy!

:frog:

Funnily enough I refitted pump assembly to my newly resprayed tank last night. It really is awkward as it tends to twist as it goes in. Plus there's a surprising amount of rust about in the flange / tank base. Today put some petrol in & started it up. No oil or water leaks but petrol everywhere.
Off to Ducati Glasgow tomorrow for new O-ring.:(

Yep Robbie, been there done that
