Hi Everyone! This is my first post. I have been wanting to build a Motorized Bicycle for sometime and this will be my first project. I just bought a used Felt 1903 off of craigslist and I want to use the tank on it as a fuel tank. I have read several treads on this forum on how to do this on Felt bikes, but I need a few questions answered before I proceed. This bike is a 2007 model and has an all aluminium frame and tank.
1. Is it as simple as removing the seat post and sealing the small hole with expanding foam and then sealing with fuel proof epoxy through a drilled petcock hole?
Or
2. Is the front of the tank where it meets the down tube part of the bike frame open as well?
I guess I would know this if I were to drill a hole for the gas cap and look. But, trying to avoid that untill I know for sure. Want to know what I am getting myself into before I proceed.
3. Is there a frame tube which runs through the fuel tank like the MP version and has to have the tank cut in half to fill those holes in the top frame tube?
Any and all ideas and coments are greatly appreciated.
