Anthoop Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 If it is new then contact the place you purchased it from...I am not aware that it is a common problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netroxen Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 If it's new, no. That's not common. However it could probably be fixed easily with some epoxy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lel-95 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 the tanks on these are pretty fragile so i'd buy a spare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimpeh Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I'll second that, fragile fuel tank, 1/2 a lap of the local track and it went, the guys there were saying problem doesn't look to be the tank itself but the mounting , it's basically a long screw some fuel pipe and a standard 5.5mm bolt on the s2.5 pro, I am upgrading the tank and mounting to a mugen mbx5 although has to come from USA so will take a few weeks Also found the hyper 7 tanks fit with some "gentile persuasion" and cable ties not an ideal fix thoigh as my exhaust was melting it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimuk87 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Thanks as its driving me mad knowing its sat there u usable but will defo get another tank any suggestions as to what would be good replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimpeh Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 The mugen mbx5 & X-ray xb8 tanks will fit apparently. The xb8 is hard to come by and the mbx5 is getting rarer In the uk. Tbh if you can make a tank fit, then make it Another point to think about is the mounting. The 2.5 mounting is really poor and you might fid that with mounts from the s3 which are much better, your normal s2 tank would last longer.

Dirtbag Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I have an S3 and I've been through about three tanks in a year. Until I were advised about using a little piece of fuel tube either side of the fixing holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimuk87 Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 The s2 has screw mounts which I hink aremthe problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, I might try using the original mounting on my s2.5 using some fuel line top & bottom, see if it lasts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
