So on a ride yesterday my girlfriends Monster M800 (2004) decided to make this crack in the tank (around 29 degrees celcius outside) Any idea how this could happen? I am taking it to the dealer where i bought it 11 months ago tomorrow..
I didn’t mean that. Cheap supermarket fuel? That could have high percentage of ethanol, which expands tanks.
It is a plastic tank, but there was nothing to see before.. But it looks like it was painted yellow at some point
Same principal as your plastic petrol can in the corner of the garage for your lawn mower, on a hot day is expanding all the time,i'll take a metal material every time
Or try and source another tank, a ‘dented’ plastic tank needs careful examination as it’s potentially weaker and more likely to rupture compared with a steel tank with a ‘smooth’ dent in it, plus unless things have changed I don’t know what sort of filler is available that would stick successfully to the tank. It’s made from polyamide PA6.
So went to the dealer, and he Will get another tank for it... So now I just need some Yellow stickers for the sides. Any idea where to get these? UK or Europe is fine..
