What's the fuel capacity of this tank?

How much taller than standard is this tank?

it was a 70 liter tank, homemade back in the day.



the problems with the gearbox, it wasn't only the gearbox, it was the gearbox and the combination of the used parts.

- The 215mm flywheel dindn't have the bearing, so we got the flywheel machined and that was a problem solved
- once the gearbox became hot, there was an oil leak. the modified nose (also previous owner) was leaking, and you don't want that on a racetrack, so we bought another nose, had to modify it a bit. another problem solved (we tought). But apparently the gears were damaged by the heat.
So, another gearbox, the case from a 914 is the same, so... But we forget to change the breather hole (stupid, I know) so once you drive a few minutes in high revs, he throws out the oil.

But for now it runs great. Maybe we'll be at Le Bug Show next weekend
