Is that petro tank really mounted between your legs?
There's gotta be a better place to put it.

Pictures and Video.. We love 'em.

You know i struggled with the same question. There really is no good place to put it. I could have mounted it at the rear end of the buggy .Which i would mounted it up much to high. Then i see all the racing Karts with the tank mounted in the floor. I have pictures posted where would you mount it?

The one I have on my Yerf-Dog is hanging off to the side of the swing-arm. It works great. It got rolled over on that side and still stood up well. I'd put it on the rear of the buggy oposite side of the muffler.

If you have the engine cover, you need to put that back on. If not, the air flow your fan puts out doesnt go to where its intended and your engine will over heat in warm weather. Believe me, i have the same engine (1977-1979 Pantera, panther, el tigre 500cc) in my dune. My engine puts out 58hp ( some porting, new pistons, aftermarket exhaust and a carburetor emulsion tube). very great engine, just thout id let you know that with out the cover its gonna get HOT.
