gilimoto 22lt tank from Brazil
 

Guys has anyone in UK ordered one of these? Just wondering what postage cost, what was delivery time and what did you get charged by customs. They are so cheap, �215! It's an absolute bargain but don't know if it will still be a bargain once it has arrived and I've paid all the extras.
If anyone else has one around the world let me know what you think.
Cheers

Hi mate,

Yep have one and love it, gives me the range I need and is nice on the bike.

Giovana is great to deal with and no problems.

There are some pics on here somewhere in the 660r section, cheers.

Hi Shane, are the tanks fiberglass or plastic? Does the fuel seat out of them? I hear some plastic tanks can sweat hence why they cant be painted. I ask as my bike lives in my hallway so the smell of petrol may be one step to far for the wife :-)

Cheers

Hi mate,

The tanks are plastic which is thick and well made, they seem to have a coating on them but not sure about painting them. I will soon have some stick on decals on mine so will see how that goes.
The standard petrol cap will vent alot of fumes so go for a lockable one which is alot better, almost like standard.
The only time i've noticed fumes from mine is on very very warm to ken hot days (so like a heat wave over there haha).
Hope this helps and sorry for late reply, been out riding (have big tank, will travel)

The Gillimoto is a good tank...
but mine did not fit right... the tunnel
in the tank was to wide & wouldn't engauge
on both rubber spiggets completely..
I had to turn up 2 alloy estenders 10mm long...
Haven't heard of others haveing a prob so maybe
I was getting a bit fussy...

Gillimoto tank leaking...
 

went out to the shed & found the tank had droped about 5 liters of fuel
over the motor/shed floor from around where the pump bolted in...

I have had a few pump issues so it's been in/out a few times & the plastic threads in the tank were getting a bit floged out so didn't want to thighten
them to much in case they striped totaly...

So I have had to spin up a alloy ring to bolt to the tank that the pump
bolts to.... it has 6 bolts with washers/nyloc nuts on the inside of the tank to hold it.. with a O-ring to seal it to
the tank with 6mm O-rings around the bolts...." and sealant to be safe"
the rings... 135mm OD / 84mm ID / 6mm think....
So theres one way to fix it if anyone ealse has the same prob some time...
now have a really true surface for the pump to seal on...

Hi Pete - great tip there thanks. I'm about to fit my Gilimoto but am concerned about the mating surface for the pump being very uneven - do you think this will be ok?

You are going to have to sort that...
pump will never seal well on that...
If it dose it could drop the whole fuel
load at any time....

Yer could try my ring trick.... heat it
with a hot air gun ,, try to get it somewhere
near flat first...
Or cutting the flange off
& having a new one plastic welded back on...




..

Thanks Pete, yep confirmed my doubts there...
