RUTU 3.5L ABS Plastic Gas Tank for CRF50 XR50 and Similar Bikes

Description

Product Overview

The RUTU 3.5L ABS plastic gas tank is engineered specifically for off‑road motorcycles that demand reliable fuel storage without the weight and corrosion issues of metal tanks. Constructed from high‑impact ABS polymer, the tank resists cracking, UV degradation, and chemical attack from gasoline and ethanol blends up to 10% ethanol. The tank holds 3.5 liters (0.92 US gallons) of fuel, providing ample range for short‑track racing, trail riding, and daily commuting. A CNC‑machined anodized aluminum cap features a secure, leak‑proof seal and an innovative venting system that prevents fuel spillage while maintaining optimal pressure. Mounting dimensions are precisely matched to the original equipment specifications: center‑axis mounting holes spaced 8.46 inches (215 mm) and outer mounting tabs spaced 8.86 inches (225 mm). The overall height of the tank is 7.09 inches (180 mm), and the unit weighs only 1.85 pounds, making it a lightweight replacement that does not compromise structural integrity. Compatibility is vehicle‑specific, fitting a broad range of 50‑160cc models including CRF50, XR50, SSR, YCF, IMR, Atomik, Thumpstar, BSE, Kayo, Stomp, Piranha, DHZ, GPX, Pitster Pro, SDG, Braaap, Taotao, Coolster, Roketa, Lifan, YX, and many others. The tank arrives as a complete kit with all necessary hardware, allowing a straightforward installation that can be completed in under an hour by a competent DIY mechanic.

Usage

This fuel tank is ideal for riders who participate in motocross, enduro, trail, and off‑road adventure riding. Its robust ABS construction makes it suitable for harsh environments, including dusty trails, wet conditions, and high‑temperature desert riding. The tank’s leak‑proof design ensures that fuel remains securely contained even when the bike is subjected to aggressive jumps and impacts. Because the tank is compatible with gasoline‑ethanol blends up to 10% ethanol, it works well with common fuel formulations found at most service stations. Riders who frequently travel long distances on a single tank will appreciate the 3.5‑liter capacity, which balances weight savings with sufficient range for most off‑road events. Installation is straightforward: remove the stock tank, align the mounting holes, secure the tank with the supplied bolts, and attach the CNC‑finished cap. The tank’s design also facilitates easy refueling, as the cap opens smoothly and the venting system prevents vacuum lock. Whether you are a competitive racer looking for a performance edge or a recreational rider seeking a dependable fuel solution, this tank delivers consistent performance across a variety of riding scenarios.
