You'll need two of 'em. one for fuel, one for return. Also, you'll need to reduce from 1/4 inch fuel line size (to 3/16 ?)

HT fuel line it would stretch from 1/4" on the connectors,but elsewhere stay at 3/16".
There's also proper "stepped-down" hose connectors that go from 1/4" to 3/16";but i really don't think it's necessary........your choice.

just dress your tank up as a tool box or make a cover for the whole thing with a milk crate. what people cant see cant hurt them.

put a drain on the bottom of your tank and drain it into a gas can,bring can into your apartment,fill tank before riding,this is easier and more simple than taking a tank on and off the bike.

Mount it at the tank's lowest point. Open valve, drain fuel and leave the engine running until it dies.

My engines' tanks were easy to drill to install my fuel lines to the reserve tank. The valve's threads are self-tapping, and you can use thread sealant.[/QUOTE]

MM, I've noticed that many MB problems have simple solutions.

No gas in apartment? Drain gas.

Gas leaking from cap? Plug cap, vent from a different port.

Now to cure those pesky flat tires!

carry patches with you and a small airpump.

fine mountain air brings on these thoughts !!

yes so true
some men are not happy with their home life
because at times they forget to remember

having a Happy Queen
makes for a Happy King -- if you know what I mean...

and motor bike riders agree -- don't fix it if it ain't broken -- treat that sweet thing right

from up top the mountain -- much good time for thinking up here -- fine air !!

My eyes are bad, I'd never find the hole!

Thanks for the advice though. I'll carry new tube and pump.
