I thought I would report a problem I have encountered with a TRF gas
tank. Maybe someone here has a better fix than TRF suggested.
I purchased a new tank for a pre 60,000 TR3A from TRF a couple of months
ago. Preparing to install it yesterday I noticed a problem. The bung
that the banjo fitting for the tank vent is not correct. The original
tank had a 1" diameter bung with a flat mating surface. The new tank
has a .75" bung that is bevelled downward into the bolt hole. The
design on the new tank leaves only a thin edge for the banjo fitting to
seat against.
Discussions with TRF this morning resulted in a recomendation to use a
plumbing grade rubber washer to seal the banjo fitting to the bung.
Has anyone on this list delt with this problem before? Anyone have any
other ideas?
Thanks,
Tom
