That tank is great, few extra miles with it. Hobby to some, way of life to others, either way, its a great learning curve to all interested. Thanks for sharing.
My friend I did the same thing Bought a tank to big for my bicycle mine was a Kent bike I ended up getting the 3L tank and had to modify the back bracket yeah always teflon gas always leaks and runs down the fuel line looks awesome I'm replacing the crank bearings on several of my bikes and then I'll be rolling again ride safe brother good luck with your project
Vinyl tubing is not meant to be used with gasoline; it will slowly eat it. You can expect to to go gummy/soft in the next few days and make it even harder to seal. You want the yellow(tygon) fuel line or the black (nitrile) stuff. If it doesn't state it's meant for fuel, it probably isn't. Check in the lawnmower parts section of HD or else go to some kind of tractor/small engine/motorcycle store, or just order a bit online. The latter two will sell it by the foot. Nice looking bike. Love the large (but not too fat) tires.
I got the same exact tank for my 100cc bike build, but I ended up mounting it on my rear tire rack so it wouldn’t clamp down my shifting cables. I have the full build on my channel if it helps! And I agree with @stubby7934 that vinyl tubing is not good for gasoline, I always get my fuel lines from auto zone and have gotten lucky a few times when getting under a foot they would just give it to me for free!😁 also most fuel filters will have an arrow on the side showing the direction of flow but I believe you had it on the correct way! Awesome build though!!!

Thanks for watching :)
Not too sure about the filter aswell but i think u gotta turn it the other way but i dont think it matters that much. Great video love the progress
I checked old footage of the filter before i removed it and indeed it was in the corrected orientation.
you'll go a long way that big tank, Ride safe.
Will do thank you!

How does your channel only have 90 subs this is honestly amazing quality looking forward to more episodes
Thank you! This means so much. More to come stay tuned.
Doing just fine! Just remember it's a learning experience and it's part of the hobby
I agree fun hobby
Thank you!
It’s lots of fun!
if you have an old inner tube you can cut that and use it going around the bar two or three times
Great tip, thank you Larry!

yeah he was better off going on amazon and ordering a fuel line for $10-20😂
Yup you are correct! I got that yellow one at my local hardware store, no more fuel leaks. Thank you!
Haha fr!
How many miles do you get per fill up?
I haven't done a new test on this bigger tank just yet.
Great video ❤
Thank you! :)
Do not, I repeat, do not, bolt that tank on to tightly. If you do it is going to leak true the bolts. Save ride amigo!
my friend, adjust the rear wheel axle
Will do.
what seems to be keeping it from fitting?
The fuel line was to short, on the other tank it was set at a different angle
