Title: Temporary fuel tank
Post by: Harold 400/4 on October 08, 2022, 11:41:36 AM: Hi all. Any tips on buying a temp fuel tank for balancing carbs etc?
There was link on a post from a while back recommending one, but it no longer works.
Any info gratefully received.
Cheers. Harold

I got this - should have got a 6mm as I got a 5mm and had to use cable ties to make sure I wasn't going to leak ::)

I bought a Sealey temp fuel tank. Comes with fuel hose, clamps and a fuel tap.
Was about £20 a few years ago. Perfect for the job. 👍
