  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Anyone know what these holes are for? This pic is of Cup Cake's tank for his TXC, but my tank for the TE has the same mounting holes on the underside of the left side of the tank. Anyone know what they are for?

Petcock. these tanks can be blocked off where you slide in the FI unit and hooked to non-FI bikes 2008 vintage. I think that's what I heard and possibly what I read on the instructions. Memory is a little hazy.....:D
 
Thanks man. I wonder if there's some interesting thing us EFI guys could use them for? Maybe mount a bottle opener there?
 
I might be useful to add a petcock as the high pressure fuel system doesn't allow easy draining of the tank to give a buddy gas on the trail or to simply drain the tank or is there a way to empty the efi tank that I'm not aware short of dumping it out the fill hole?
 
I don't know. I am planning on using a siphon to empty the stock tank. However, I have had the stock tank off before and if you don't rotate the connection to the fuel line, gas will leak out of there. I found that out by taking the tank off and sitting it on the garage floor and noticing it getting wet all around. Rotating it to point up prevents gas from coming out. I suppose it wouldn't be to difficult to drain the tank that way but I don't know how long it would take and it definitely wouldn't be the preferred way to do it trailside.
 
Maybe I'm low tech. I carry a zip lock baggie for a few reasons, one of them is to share fuel
  • take cap off donor bike
  • lean bike over till fuel comes out and pour most of it into the baggie
  • pour fuel from baggie into bike that needs fuel.
 
GREAT IDEA,,,never thought of it a bag wow,,,been on the trail doin the hi bike low bike thing with the little piece of hose i carry,,,,a bag is so friggen easy and logical,,, again great move. R

You sir are a genius! I will no longer look for bottles left by less worthy trail users to share gas.

good god....I am a genius and never thought to share about the gas use of the bag also....always carry a couple of galon size zip lock bags, you can get water from a stream or (puddle if it is absolutey the only water) to refill your radiators too, of coarse this is for my 525 KTM that overheats sometimes......also the bag can keep t.p. dry in case some of my friends need to go out in the woods......always cover your mess with a hiker though....I mean from a hiker
