What Tanks Will Fit?

**Gearheadtom** · 04-27-2009, 03:19 PM

I have an '85 Honda 200m and my gas tank has rusted through. I'm wondering was tanks from other machines will fit mine. I'm assuming the tanks from a 200e or 200es will fit my 200m, but are there any other tanks that will fit? I'm not concerned about the shape, just the mounts. Any help would be nice.

you could go for a plastic tank http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HONDA...#ht_500wt_1764

the only other one that will fit would be 1982 -1984 Big Red

I would buy a plastic one, but I don't want to spend that much money. That $89.99 one is $110.00 Canadian. I'll patch mine up and run it until I find a better tank.

I just got a tank from a guy for free. He said it was from 200 Big Red, but after I got home and tried to put it on, I realised that it must be off a 250.

If it is off a 250es and in good shape.You can sell it for about what a plastic cost.The 85-87 tanks in good shape catch good bucks sometimes..
Post a few pics of the tank you got for free.

The tank I got is not in very good shape, it is rusted badly inside, and it has many dents, and I can tip it back and fourth and hear the loose rust sliding around, but it was free. I might get some pics tomorow.

if you want to fix up yours you can start with dilluted acid then clean and coat and jb weld the holes

JB weld is not a good fix... The gas will trash it before long... Post a pic of the BR tank you have... I could stand to have a spare laying around...

I have had JB weld on my 250SX tank for 2 years now with no issues! I also have a bit on my 86 200X - also - no issues what so ever - if applied correctly - should never be an issue.

I have a clarke 250 r tank on my 84 atc200 with no mods

**Gearheadtom** · 04-28-2009, 05:01 PM

This is the tank I got for free. When I was taking the pictures I noticed a bad rust out on the tank, but my camera died before I could take a picture of the hole. I probaly could have pushed my finger through the tank by the hole.
What is this tank off of? I'm thinking a 250es or 250sx.

**daniel_250r** · 04-28-2009, 08:14 PM

85 250sx tank is what you have there

**1984ATC200S** · 04-29-2009, 05:36 PM

200S/185S tanks will fit as well, they just hold less fuel.
