Fuel tank upgrade

Post by Davegrohl99 »

For anyone know if it’s possible to upgrade the fuel tank in terms of capacity?

I’m at the stage where I need to buy a new tank it’s for a air cooled petrol westy so range is not great and a bigger tank would be a great help for longer distances?

I seem to remember that there is an ‘extended range’ South African version of the tank, but whether you can still get one or where from, someone else may be along later to help
