Fred in the shed Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 Are the alloy tanks lighter than stock items? Well in the famous words of Vicky Pollard.....Yeah but ....no ...but yeah? empty..... I recon 20% to 25% at least lighter, however as a plus the first tank made has a capacity of 30 ltr or just over 6 Gallons in real money if I recall but check on this standard tank is just under 24 Ltr ? so it depends on how much juice you put in, the 2nd tank I have not yet measured capacity but would think about the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbolesaz Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 So, did the other Lee Carey get a bunch of email about Guzzi tanks? I guess that's why I didn't get a response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luhbo Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Does anyone remember this silver V11 with a similar tank, but polished, and small also chromey aftermarket pipes? It was sold for 2000 USD IIRC. Right colour and I would have called it the prettiest V11 I've seen so far May well be that Docc still has pics of her hanging in his shed.

docc Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Ah, yes, it belonged to ponti_33609 in Tampa, Florida, USA. I recall the tank was also built in England by The Tank Shop and had the forward style line not seen on this tank. Alas, his images have fallen under PhotoBlockit.

footgoose Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I have to agree about the "style line" Docc. I'd want that on any replica tank I buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbolesaz Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I have sent several emails etc. I even googled MCS Engineering and tried to contact that way. Nothing. Bukiss. I haven't tried the good old telephone yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68C Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Have you tried the company email, I picked it off there website, www.mcs-engineering.co.uk info@mcs-engineering.co.uk Website has a dash between mcs and engineering, not sure if that is 'legal' character for emails.

Thread here: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=16363&p=175827 This is at the shop before the polishing: The fwd "style line"is a majorly important feature for mine. Tank looks nicely made but I love the shape of the original so the style line and a flush filler cap are a must. Cant stand those old pommy 50's sports car fillers on later model vehicles esp the smaller ones. They look like a growth more than a filler cap. I'm sure the tank guy could make one with a flush cap though. Ciao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
