got two small pipes coming out the tank as pictured this is the adv tank didn't have them on my standard tank anyone know what they are for cheers gord

They'll be to link both lobes of the tank so you don't end up with a load of fuel which is inaccessable to the fuel pump.

thanks tim is this standard and should the pipe be held on with jubilee clips ??

 

[sockpuppet]

Yes and yes.

You'll need a QD at one end of the line as it'll be a bitch fitting the tank without it.

thanks sock while we are on the subject i just noticed there is no drain hole in the filler neck as with the standard one does this mean the water will go straight into the tank

 

[Welshman]

Drain is from the filler neck not the tank unless I have got it very wrong

if you are going to use qd, try only the brass ones, because plastics break down after miles and petrol leaks over the exhaust pipes, not so good!

search for petrol suitable qd

and also make sure they are of the self sealing variety otherwise you'll piss fuel all over the place the first time you disconnect

BeemerBoneyard in the US do a set for the ADV. I got a set when travelling last year but they will post to the UK. I think they were about 70 quid for the 6 required. Much better than the plastic shite that split open whilst in the car park at work. By the time I got the tank off and turned it upside down I was covered. The office smelt of fuel on my kit for weeks
