Honda vtx1300c

Whoo who I got me tank cleaned yesterday. Now to get it connected. It is an old ATV tank. What kind of connection do you guys suggest at the tank?

Are you planning to use it as an auxiliary tank for you C? If so where are you going to mount it? Or is it to be used as a replacement? What kind of connection does the tank have on it now? Post a picture of the outlet if you can.

I am mounting it on the back.Building my own rack, everything will be bolted. It will look like a monster with two heads. I'm ordering a new petcock so I can run it easily.

Maybe look into how the ST1300 guys are tapping into the main tank, might be similar for the VTX. I know the engine is different but the fueling system may be similar if not the same.

The 1300 has a carburetor so it's much simpler than the ST. One top of that it is a vacuum petcock, but has an actual off position so it could be as simple as a tee in the line and turn off the VTX petcock and run the auxiliary tank until dry then turn on the VTX petcock and run it as normal. That's how I would do it.

This is how I plumbed a previous carbed Honda. I used the the auxiliary fuel cell as the primary tank and used the bike's own tank (draining via the reserve) as the secondary tank.

Good enough for a 1000 mile day.

Well that was a bust. After working to clean the tank and finally found a cap. The stupid tank leaks. So I have decided to get a fuel cell off Ebay.
