I would like to hook in an external aux tank to give approx 250Km range so I hope to use a big tank (IMS / Aqualine) at the front and probaly a Nomad item at the back of the seat. I though that I would drain both tanks via gravity and a 3 way valve to an external fuel pump and then to the injector. Looking on the advrider site they are all over this for carburated 990's etc - so why cant I do it. Well - nobody seems to have any clue to the specification of the stock pump and if the Aircraft spruce 40171 pump is suitable for FI systems. The information I'm looking for is the spec of the stock pump like the flow and pressure ranges , check and anti-syphon valving, net positive suction head (if applicable) and power consumption. I'll machine up a blanking plate for the big tank with a drybreak fitting down to the 3 way valve - similarly for the aux tank. So if anybody has the technical info I'm looking for I would very much appreciate this. Thanks

The pressure appears to be around 40 psi from checks done on a 08 TE450. It should be well regulated. http://www.thumpertalk.com/forum/showpost.php?p=6152242&postcount=1
Ruffus, Seymore Thank you. I suspect that I may have advanced my thinking to the 'not quite so difficult' bin. I'll mount the aux tank with a small lift pump and connect that via a check valve to a machined taping in the stock pump base plate. It is a bit of alternative and a more manual procedure but should be a lot easier and cheaper to impliment. Hopefully it should be 20 or 22 ish litres (sorry no US gals - not sure of the conversion factors anyway). I'm waiting until the 2011 TE510 is released then will be sure to take plenty of photos to post.
bum tank on F.I. bike Hi guys , I run a bum tank on my TE510 2008, I run a line from back tank to front tank, entering through a standard fuel tap setup on right side of tank, standard fuel tap from 07 husky tank, I was going to run a pump , but , found the bum tank drains fine with gravity, after travelling about 30 miles (50 km's) i turn fuel tap to reserve, fuel transfers fine, i was worried about slow transfer , but i have done 2000 miles without a problem, even forgetting to switch tanks once and running the front tank dry, turned tap to reserve and all went fine. with fuel transfering to front tank View attachment 4928 View attachment 4929 View attachment 4930 View attachment 4931
