Noticed this ad when looking at the 2zz post Scotty made. Is the 340 tank accesible from below and would it be a "simple" drop out and refit job ?

A 70l tank would be pretty useful and hopefully prevent the need for refuelling on most tdays.

Weight : 5.6 KG (standard steel tank 12.8 KG, even smaller 48 Ltr. non OEM alloy tanks are 7KG+). The fuel cell doesn’t need the steel tank’s hardware (saddles,cradles,wedges) so even less weight.
Running Time* : 80 minutes (Steel tank 45 mins.) *Full throttle, track use, Exige 240 Cup.

Bag tanks have a life though and need replaced. Expensive exercise if you're keeping it for some years.

It's short for a Vertical Technician, ie a tall computer man.
