    Beer barrel

    Hi I am going to use a beer barrel for the petrol tank . It’s been done loads of time. So what’s the drawbacks. Do I have to cut it to put in baffles or use the foam to stop the sloshing. Cheers for looking 👍

    I had an alloy beer barrel for a tank on my first rod, A Jago Tee, built in '72 and never had
    any problems but you do need to secure it very well as the fuel will slosh and rock the tank back-n-forth!

    Thanks for your reply. That’s why I’m thinking of the foam you put in to stop that. Anyone know where to get it cheers

    Fuel tank foam should be available from any any racecar type place, eg Merlin Motorsport, Demon Tweeks etc.

    and if you don't intend on having a fuel gauge weld a couple of 90 degree thin tube elbows in one end at the top and bottom with a clear tube between them. like rally car fuel tanks have.
