Fuel System
|
Tiger supply 2 metal 'bands' to secure the fuel tank, which in all honesty are a waste of time! Seeing as the tank is less than a foot behind my head I want it a little more secure... I made up 4 bars from a length of steel (from B&Q) and drilled an 12mm hole in each end. The bar was then covered with an offcut of bicycle inner tube. |
|
An M12 threaded rod was passed through the holes and one bar laid across the top of the tank, the bottom bar under the chassis rail that the tank sits on. |
|
The nuts were tightened, clamping the fuel tank in place. |
|
The fuel line comes off the metal pipe behind the passenger seat, and into the outlet of the fuel pump. |
|
Then under the parcel shelf and into a fuel filter, then into the fuel tank. The fuel line is secured with metal p clips with rubber inserts. |
|
The wiring for the pump isn't long enough so its extended. As you can see from the picture all the wiring joins will be soldered and wrapped in self amalgamating tape before being loomed. |
|
The throttle linkages should really have been fitted to the carbs before they were bolted to the manifold, never mind, I like a challenge! |
|
Gave up, took one of the carbs off and fitted the linkage... |
|
The fuel filler was fun... |
|
I had to cut about an inch off the tank filler neck to enable me to fit the fuel filler. It is designed by the look of it to fit on the outside of the panel, but that looked naff. I managed to get it mounted on the inside of the panel so the filler cap sits nice and flush. |
