Hi all, I've been having a look on the site at the various kits etc but before I get any further I have a quick question.  I'm thinking of making a petrol tank for my bike - what would I need to do for this?  I'm assuming I'll need some sort of iner tank or can fuel mix with carbon safely?  Has anyone else gone this route before?

Thanks in advance!

You are in Europe, so the stuff you need is definitely available. Not sure what sort of quantities you would have to buy, but I know of a few people making carbon fuel tanks for various motorbikes over there. 

I'd recommend heading over to compositescentral.com and checking out the threads on this subject there, it seems to have been discussed in more detail than on this forum. Perhaps even message the user morepower, as I've seen he is quite happy to divulge some of his secrets (he's on here to, so he might be lurking...). He uses a phenol novolac to seal his tanks, so you could ask him where he is sourcing it etc. Alchemie is the company that springs to mind, but it's been awhile since I read his thread so I may be wrong.
