Petrol tank

[Jazz]

There are many types of plastic.  Some of them will melt when contact with solvent, some others no problem. 
Like LatioR mentioned, I've seen bikes with plastic fuel tank before.
Think it's a very high density plastic with benefits like lighter, higher impact resistance, corrosion proof as compared to metal ones. 

Hi,
Oh, pai say, stop riding 11 years ago, so maybe outdated liao.

So can any latio guru confirm if the fuel tank is made of metal, plastic or metal coated with plastic material ?

Yo Bro LatioR,

May I know which year you owned your TZR ? That is 1 of my dream bike when young but couldn't afford at that time, only bought Yamaha LC kia .... I did change 1 fuel tank before for my LC coz it really rust inside as you can see when we fill up petrol, for mine, coz I bought 2nd hand, so the rust is caused by the petrol pistol which inflict scratches while filling up. Sad.

hi bro Jazz, me bought at yr 97 at $7500 (2nd owner, yr of mfg sb yr 94). Me too like so much the exterior look of this bike (look like 400cc) but frankly speaking, this bike is not comfortable to ride (with rubber seat and strong vibration).

Yo Bro LatioR,

Yep, I agree, so is your fuel tank made of coated aluminum or plastic ?

TZR is definitely more comfortable than my previous LC kia and Suzuki RG.

IMHO, tink watever material they use to make the petrol tank, it shd b able to prevent oxidization or deterioration, and under warranty. Dont tink by leaving ur tank on low volume will cause oxidization inside/or outside, even if u din drive for sometime. It ll be a big worldwide recall if this problem happen. Based on current technology available, this is not a problem to them anymore. So dont worry about this issue. Cheers !

how many people need to change fuel tank filter? that's can be an indication of the quality of latio fuel tank.

hi bro, sorry for the late reply as still in M'sia celebrating CNY. I'm quite sure it's plastic (maybe of fibreglass). Gong Xi Fa Cai to u and all the Lations

you do this to estimate your fc?   

One of the reason that i pump half tank is also because i can monitor FC. Just X2 to get the full tank estimated mileage. 3/4 tank a bit difficult....

[skxly]

I am happy with the FC so far - spending so much lesser on petrol than my previous MPV. 

I read from the manual that the Latio Sports has a smaller tank than the sedan version.  Now I got difficulty pumping $50 and above to qualify for lucky draws or additional discount

Yup. If i am pumping full tank, i will pump in 37 or 38 litre after the fuel low indicator lights up then no need x2 la..

Definitely cannot compare with MPV.

My MPV drinks twice the amount of petrol as compared to the Latio.
