Looking for a few parts for my R4 project

[Tramguage1]

I am working on a little project for my R4. I am planning on installing a factory 2 seat fuel tank under the front passenger seat of the R4.
Thanks to Brian at 1080 Dirtsports for the uses fuel.tank.So here is a list of the parts I am looking for.

Fuel cap
Working or non working fuel pump assy
Locking ring
2 seat passenger floor plastic
So if anyone has any of these parts let me know.

Cool idea, you'll be effectively doubling your range.

So i am struggling with making this just a storage cell or adding a electric pump and adding a hose to transfer from front to back or into another machine.

Hmmm - I can just barely run a full tank out in a day. That's ~150 miles on the fairly easy desert terrain I'm usually in. (that's with the OSHA tube removed from the filler neck, giving me an extra 1.4 gallons) It never occurred to me to transfer fuel to someone else. 😒 That's more likely to happen than 'me' needing the extra tank and I always have the 3 gallon RotoPax on the bed extender.

Like any of us, my mileage varies wildly, from 9 mpg in the Rockies, low range all day to 20 mpg cruising the desert in high range all day.

I wonder if you could use a 4 pole two way switch (2 paired hots, no off) to alternate between the two fuel pumps and fuel level sending units plus two check valves in the fuel pressure lines, spliced into the fuel supply to the motor.

I’m assuming that the extra tank has a fuel pump already in it and that there isn’t a fuel return line…but I’ve never taken a talon tank apart..

I'd be more inclined to gut the 2nd pump and just siphon into the main if using as more fuel for the unit

But I agree being able to pump to another car would be idea too

Yea I'm thinking more of for storage that will not take up any needed room. For example the MOM Overland we are going on this week. Last year I needed a couple gallons of fuel to make sure I didn't run the pump dry. I have a transfer pump I use on my 5 gallon fuel cans, it is battery powered and has automatic shutoff. This would be easy to pack in and be easy to use when needed.

I know sombody running a 4 seat turbo talon set up with dual fuel tanks. He runs methanol so he needed the extra capacity to give his car decent range. Let me see if I can get him to text me some pictures....

Methanol!!!🤔

Methanol!!!🤔

It makes big horsepower and has all the boost. Everything is custom right down to the turbo kit he spec'd out and built himself. It's the most impressive and pretty Talon I've ever laid eyes on. His attention to detail is unbelievable...

That's badass

🤔 Imagine how much faster it'd be if it was RED......😬

He skipped buying the windshield, heater, stereo, fender flares and Milwaukee packout setup and spent the money on go fast parts instead. It's all relative..... 🤣
