For cavebear

This needs discussion! Fiberglass oil tanks? Any opinions? Any real-world experience? Anyone? RR

Ricky_Racer · « **Reply #37 on:** February 07, 2010, 10:57:58 AM »

Looks like Spiller/Spyker has been very busy! Very creative designs.

I'd still like to see some discussion on the merits/dangers of FRP oil tanks. RR

Ecosse · « **Reply #38 on:** February 07, 2010, 11:27:41 AM »

forgive the greenhorn posing a question but why would a 'glass oil tank be any better/worse than a 'glass fuel tank?

also, is it fiberglass (glassfibre for our euro friends) or some other plastic material?

egli1000 · « **Reply #39 on:** February 07, 2010, 11:52:38 AM »

HELLO

YES OUI FIBRE DE VERRE ...
FIBERGLASS YES

****

NO VERRE
NO PLASTIC MATERIIAL

GEORGES · « **Reply #40 on:** February 07, 2010, 01:22:16 PM »

Yes, in french langage :

Polyester = Fibre de verre

In english

Fibre de verre = Fiber glass

Not simple glass or a glass to drinck.

Ecosse · « **Reply #41 on:** February 07, 2010, 01:41:45 PM »

if that's similar enough to polyethylene, fuel cells for race cars are made from it, then why not oil tanks?

cavebear · « **Reply #42 on:** February 07, 2010, 01:56:52 PM »

Georges,

I was thinking about turning the backbone tube into an oil tank like an early Egli. How do feel about that idea?

mec · « **Reply #43 on:** February 07, 2010, 02:03:47 PM »

bad idea.

# you need an oil tank with more than 3 litres capacity.
# if the oil tank is horizontal from front to rear, the engine will suffer oil either under braking or under accelerating (as it was in the early eglis

)

GEORGES · « **Reply #44 on:** February 07, 2010, 02:18:16 PM »

Hello Cavebear,

May be it's a good idéa, but i newer saw an old frame MARTIN like this system, i don't know if you can drill the beam ?

I think it's more easy to put an additional tank.

Ask to EGLI, he know lot about EGLI and MARTIN frame.

In this pics you see a new frame that Georges MARTIN sail now he have like Egli frame a tank for oil in the beam.

GEORGES · « **Reply #45 on:** February 07, 2010, 02:24:36 PM »

Hello mec,

I'ts a good answer, look at the frame pic there is an other black small tank ? may be to eliminate this problem.

cavebear · « **Reply #46 on:** February 07, 2010, 03:20:27 PM »

Thanks for the input everybody. I'd like to know what that oil tank costs. If anybody could give me the websites or email addresses of someone who has or makes parts for the Martin I would appreciate it. I will start posting photos next week as I start doing the trial assembly. I intend to have the finished bike weigh between 350 and 375 pounds when complete. I'll show how as the build progresses.

andy750 · « **Reply #47 on:** February 07, 2010, 05:05:34 PM »

George,

Just curious but any idea how much that MARTIN frame costs?

thanks
Andy

GEORGES · « **Reply #48 on:** February 07, 2010, 11:40:11 PM »

Hello Andy,

The price is near 3000 €, without paint or chromium, but with all parts you see on the picture.

Bye.

hello,
this small "hopper tank" does minimize this problem (but cannot solve the problem). it seems that this tank makes the problems in turns. why not mount an oil tank which provides oil in "all" situations. the geometrical form should be like a pyramide, but standing on top, upside down, similar to the stock one.
