Long range tank for a 102 type seagull wanted

[niander]

No one has one?
are these rare?

[Charles uk]

I've just had a look through all my bits, I don't think I've ever seen one, I think the first of the long range tanks was the long brass oval one from LLS times.
Has anyone else ever seen one?

I can't find any mention in the early Seagull paperwork, post 1938 to date.

102 Long Range Fuel Tank Part No. 102/311
Mostly used and sold as an accessories on 102 Plus models.
About 15 inch long and 3 1/2 litre capacity.

Regards, Jan

I have a couple of these, both on motors of the fifties. I have to say I didn't know they were rare.

That shows how perceptive I am, I've probably seen both of the other Charles's long range tanks, & because they were not in my area of interest (very early & very late, pre 1945 & post 1980) they just don't register.

Thank you Charles P & Jan for putting me straight.

Now I'm off to carry on working on my 170 Mk II race motor, I've less than 2 months to get it screaming, so that I can keep the Bermudians & the Kiwis honest!

All well and good but who will sell me one?
or ill swop a good seagull block/piston or carb for one
or what you looking for?

[tonyg]

I did find and buy one off ebay a little while ago and not long after saw another one, so there are a few around, its a case of being lucky enough to search at the right time

Too bad your on the other side, I've got one, but for some strange reason they do not want to ship gas tanks in the mail. Wonder how long it would take to drift over there?

[niander]

I have one now.....cannot ship gas tanks???
why tell em?...ive sent loads...."brass tube" isnt it

Hi. I have one for sale in fairly good condition, characterful dents as normal. Cleaned, shiny but not polished brass, with tap and cap if needed. Make me an offer.

Cheers

Sorry miss read last post but if anyone else is interested...
