6lt Camel Tank
 
Hi Everyone

Has anyone fitted a 6lt camel tank to a CRF250L

Thanks

Nope. But you can get a large Acerbis tank for the 250l

Thanks Ted

Being crap at anything mechanical I was thinking of going the camel route and trying to fit it myself. The Acerbis are going for around £300 any idea what it would cost to get one fitted

Well that depends who fits it. I've never done one but I can't Imagine it being too difficult. Honda will charge you £100 per hour. An independent like me charges not much more than that for an entire day. :)

Hi Ted

To say that I am useless with mechanics is a complete understatement. Also I am just working in the UK for the next 18 months so have no access to tools anyway. I visited a couple of local mechanics yesterday to get a quote. The first was plain rude so no business for him and I walked away. The guys at the second were so cool I ended up there for ages just chatting. They gave me a quote which I am happy with so all my work goes to them from now on.

the camel tank is better value for money than the acerbis and ims options. more overall capacity for same effort and capacity. and the tank can be used on your next bike. we get over 400km range with the camel tank on the 250l

fitting on the 250l is very simple and you don't need any high-level skills.

I fitted the Acerbis 12.5lt tank in the end and am very happy with it. I haven’t completely ran it dry yet but have been close a couple of weeks ago. I got around 190 miles but didn’t have an extra fuel container so didn’t want to risk running out.
