Dale,
What about considering this in your design process. Why not make a single unit fuel tank/subframe? You would basicly be eliminating the walls between the two tanks. This would eliminate the slow transfer of fuel, and seems like it would simplify the whole installation and fueling process. I have not had mine apart to see why this would not work, but it seems plausable on the face of it.

Most likely he is building an aluminum subframe and a welding an aluminum tank within it's borders. Essentially hybrid monocoque. If my guess is way off Dale, please chime in.
But that would be the simple way to do it without rotational molding and the expense of $40k in molds to make it work.
Would it be too much to ask for some badass handholds on it, too lift the rear end up?
It may be a little while before the tanks are designed and mfgd. Is anyone going ahead and trying to seal their stock subframes?

Congrats on Dakar,great effort. My days of Safari s and rallye s are behind me now (48 years old with a 2 year old daughter . . . ), so I can only watch on with envy, and a bit of nostalgia.
Now to the point. . . . I have an '09 570 FE, and riding hard or in soft sand, 100kms sees the tank bone dry, and if I baby the thing (!) only good for about 140 . . . . .so what's the situation with the subframe tanks ?
Happy to go it on my own (built and prepped all my own Safari bikes,and currently building a new one. . . . oh, and an alloy framed road-legal CR500, so no slouch in the workshop. . . .) but if someone else has done the background research, well, I'd rather save myself some leg work . . .

Was out at the Molders again today, good progress. I will post in the other thread that I have running updates on in the next day or so with pictures and explanations.

Re: Re:
Get Dale EO's new subframe tanks when they come out soon, my wallet is burning a hole in my pocket for about 6-8 of them for this years Safari team as soon as they hit production.
Our modded subframes work well...........BUT a designed tank is a much better option. :cheers:

Waiting anxiously for the new sub frame tank.
When will you be able to ship the modded gastank to Europe?

Re: What happened to the subframe thread
I must be going crazy search all manners: via google, advrider.com but i cant find details on plumbing the stock subframe.
Even Gazza's hyper link below to this berg forum doesnt work.
if anyone knows any good thread on completing the mod, i am desperate and of course running out of time to prep for an amazing long distance D/S ride.
thanks

Re: What happened to the subframe thread
Major thread revival here.
Because the 70 degree tanks are no longer available and hard to source second hand, I'm looking at doing the DIY subframe mod.
I'm going to put oil in it however, for a long distance adventure ride.
Looking at using this stuff - Scotch Weld PR100 http://solutions.3m.com.au/3MConten...assetId=1319230012978&blobAttribute=ImageFile
Recently broke world record for holding 8 tonne for over an hour with a contact surface of just a 7cm diameter circle...
Wondering whether you could plumb the sub frame tank as an oil reservoir, or would the oil melt the plastic?

Hi guys
Is by chance someone can drop few pics of the DIY pumbling fuel system
I'm trying again (first time was just working too good, petrol was fowing non stop throug the vent gas hose).
But this time, i will try to insert a spare fuel pump in it ready to plug, (just in case)
I can't see the Sabink pics anymore???
Thank and merry Xmas
