Where will you place the additional tank in your 70?

Thanks,

I am starting off with an off the self 15 gallon rectangular tank that I will mount in the rear, not sure if I am taking the seat out or mounting it behind the seat, probably taking the seat out and mounting it on one side. However once my tests are complete I am making a custom tank, it will either cover the floor in the rear and allow for seat to be re-mounted but will make seat 4 inches higher or I will make one that fits on the side and takes up space in the wheel well cavity as well still allowing the rear seat to be utilized. These are just the ruff plans at that point check back with me in about 6 months for the final tank setup.

cheers,

Michael

Ive run mostly B20 in my diesels (which I sold and am now dieselless but hopefully not for long). I did notice some power loss but my fuel economy remained about the same. Also it didnt smoke much during startup. As for lubricating properties... depends on what research paper you read. Ive seen both sides of the arguement... some say it has just as good if not better lube as dino and other say it lacks. With what I was running I didnt see anything negative. One rig I ran with B20 for several thousand miles before I sold it.
As for now I am still between SVO and homebrewing some B100. Ive done a ton of reading on both.

I am running B20 in one of my BJ70's (AXT turbo'd) and I noticed the engine is quieter and no change in performance. I am not 100 positive but I think I am getting better mileage as well. I do not think you would see any difference in the BTU factor or mileage on B20 maybe more difference on B100.

Cheers,

Michael

Purportedly, 20 dead cats will fill a 50 liter tank. That's taking "put a tiger in your tank" a bit far, don'tcha think?
