    I contacted them and they never shipped to the US. They are going to check the postage and let me know.

    I need a fuel line and it appears to be 4.5 mm. Do the 1/4 in ones at local shops work?

    1/4 =6.35mm. 4.5mm doesn't sound right but I don't know for sure although I think you want 1/4". I like Tygon tubing, it's clear and doesn't harden as quickly as black hose. It's cheap enough to pick up a couple feet of 1/4 and 5/16 and be set for a while. I got mine at Napa.

    5.5mm maybe? ATC 70 is.. https://phatmx.com/collections/atc70.../1-4-fuel-line

    On my 86 trx 70 the generic 1/4" fuel lines work, but could be tighter on the tank and carb petcock connection. Used tiny hose clamp to tighten down (screw ones). The 1/4" pinch/squeeze clamps didn't squeeze tight enough.

    Such a cool story - thanks for sharing. I'd say it would be well worth the cost to get a proper tank for it though - it just doesn't do the trike justice as is.

    I agree. I am slowly working on it. Finding a tank in good shape is harder then I thought it would be. Finding more 200m tanks then 200 es.

    I have a tank from an 83 Big Red with one tiny pinhole near the seat. It's also a little rusty where knees have rubbed it. It can be fixed though. If you want I'll get pics tomorrow.

    Sure. I’ll take a look at it. Is the 83 the same size and shape? So far I have just been looking for 1984 200es and 200m tanks. Thanks.

    Yes, I believe it's identical. 83 tank graphics are also very similar to 84. I'll take some pics when it stops raining.

    Sorry to leave you hanging Mach-10, I thought I had my mind made up to part out the 83 but after riding it around a little for the first time today I kind of want to fix it up, it runs really good. If I change my mind I'll definitely let you know.

    I'm fairly certain 82-84 tanks will all work fine, hopefully that helps your search.

    I finally got a tank !!! No dents or dings. It’s a 200m tank so I will have to get decals for it. The inside is a little rusty but not too bad. I have the Apple cider vinager in it now. From what I have been reading there are several ways to stop it from flash rusting. I have seen water and backing soda. Desil fuel. WD-40. What do some of you use in order to get rid of rust and to prevent it from rusting? Thanks.
