bigger tank

[robson]

Hi, thinking about getting bigger tank for my 300 txt but wonder if it comes with tab etc and it's easy swap or I need to installs omething from the old one?

Is this for a pre 23, post 12?

No they dont come with a tap, though they are easily swapped after removing the cobra clip. They use the same top bolt. You need to install a bit of foam tape where it meets the airbox to stop it rattling, like the standards. Heat refective tape is discretionary IMO

yes it's 2021 -  ok thanks, also i have seen it's black plastic without any stickers etc

[faussy]

yes, and you cant buy a sticker for them. Some fit the standard sticker but its not that great looking. If youre on fb its possibly worth contacting some expert gasgas riders or putting up a post. Now that the new model has changed tanks ive seen some riders sell their old ones from when they had them fitted at the scott and ssdt

For the pre-23', look up the 2018 Gasgas Contact oem chassis parts list.  The tank "kit" costs $330 USD and adds about a liter, bringing the total capacity to 3.5L.  It includes the weather strip tape and adhesive heat shield.  New oem petcock is only another $10.  Use a fuel hose clamp (screw type/non-slotted) or oem crimp-on.  Swapping between tanks only takes a minute (1 screw).  There's even a no frills Contact tank sticker for an additional $30...
