Bigger tank for the TC250???

[TemecuCoastie]

Alright, I spoke to the guys at IMS and they said I could use their tanks, but I'd have to replace the stock fuel pump for a smaller pump.

Any other alternatives????

Call Bills. they have (had?) one of those same tanks with the smaller pump opening and were working on a solution a while back. Probably know what to do.

I don't see the point in installing a tank that only increases capacity by 0.7 gallons, especially when you pay $250 for it.

15 miles could mean a lot to someone.

Thanks and that's my reasoning behind it. That extra 15 miles could mean a lot.

I'll look into Bill's.

That is a very steep price for so little. I'd likely just bring .7 gallon in a sealed container and throw it in the backpack with all my tools and gear before tossing back $250

example/ for reference, check the size diff between the TC and TXC models.

If you race that's not going to work and usually get you disqualified.

When needed this is how I carry fuel. the gallon version of this container, the handle is great for butt bag (after consulting with/getting slagged by the Oz crew I never call it a fanny pack anymore) belt attachment.

also I never wait until I need it, just ride until I think I can fit some if not all into the tank just to get the weight of that thing bouncing around off asap.

Good call.

How about for racing? That won't fly, will it????

TXC: 2.25 gallons

TC: 1.70 gallons

Difference: half a gallon. Which could be a enough.

Why would carrying fuel get you dis-qualified? Is there a rule somewhere I'm unaware of? I've had gas tanks sitting out on the starting line many a time for the 3+ hour races where re-fueling is required. Was thinking that if it was a 1 way ride and not a loop, the spare tank in bag is exactly what I would do.

Most the races I have been to hauling gas and pouring it in on the race course is not allowed.

strange. never heard of that one before. What is the purpose behind not allowing the hauling of gas and what dictates what is a proper storage devise for the fuel. I know companies sell those rear fender saddle tanks...is that stuff allowed?
