Author Message   4traxx Posted on Sunday, September 23, 2012 - 10:04 am:        BUELL 1999 S3 FUEL TANK FUEL INJECTED tank to my 2000 M2. I cant imagine no one has done a swap . What am I looking at here ?   Natexlh1000 Posted on Sunday, September 23, 2012 - 10:21 am:        The fuel injected bikes have the pump inside the tank. That is way too much pressure for the float bowl to handle. You would have to remove the pump assemble and fab up a petcock.   4traxx Posted on Sunday, September 23, 2012 - 04:19 pm:        I should have been a little clearer . Its a tank off ebay that looks stripped , looks like no pump and petcock . Its the right color right price and looks decent .   Brother_in_buells Posted on Sunday, September 23, 2012 - 04:34 pm:        http://mcmod.com/EFIconvert.html http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/476 23/124108.html?1119924775 You also can try here http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/sear ch.cgi   Natexlh1000 Posted on Sunday, September 23, 2012 - 08:03 pm:        You are aware that they are held on differently too, right? Ugly black fuel cell is held on by the painted cover.   Ratbuell Posted on Sunday, September 23, 2012 - 10:08 pm:        Incorrect. X1 and S2 were the only tubers with fuel cells covered by cosmetic bodywork.   Harleyelf Posted on Sunday, September 23, 2012 - 10:18 pm:        You can mount it easily, but getting all the fuel out will mean drilling a petcock hole at the low point of the tank and plugging both fuel pump holes. Watch out for clearance issues between the rear head and the petcock.   Hootowl Posted on Monday, September 24, 2012 - 02:49 pm:        The fuel cells are not held on by the bodywork.   Natexlh1000 Posted on Monday, September 24, 2012 - 05:35 pm:        OK OK. The rear clamp clamps both the cell and also the cover. Sorry. As I recall, there isn't a whole bunch o clearance between the top of the engine and the bottom of the tank either. What is your goal of changing tanks over?   Hootowl Posted on Monday, September 24, 2012 - 08:50 pm:        That is true on the x1 but not on the s2   Ratbuell Posted on Monday, September 24, 2012 - 09:34 pm:        An S3 (which is what the OP asked about) uses a Manta tank just like an M2. Only difference is plumbing - pump and return, versus petcock.   Harleyelf Posted on Monday, September 24, 2012 - 11:41 pm:        Fuel pump holes can be sealed by short bolts with the heads inside the tank, sealed by flat nylon washers (also inside the tank). No leaks in three years; mounting the petcock was more than one step.   Blackjoe Posted on Tuesday, September 25, 2012 - 11:40 am:        4traxx -- that's my tank. If you want any closeup pictures or anything, lemme know.
