About half the posts on the old bubble nose Ski-Doo forums on FB are people arguing about what's the best thing to clean the tank out with, to me cutting one of these things open is the only way to clean it out and it's a rite of passage if you're going to work on these things. At least on the Jet, the steering support is not part of the filler neck.
Seems to be common sense to me especially being that it’s gonna be racer ! Everything about that stock tank was just gonna be one gremlin after another and no one likes gremlins when it comes to engines ! lol. Take care John 🍺🍺
Things kinda like my 1976 motoski nuvik! I think you definitely saved this sled, no better way to do it... I'll have to do a video this fall on the nuvik had a 530cc el tigre engine it!
Too bad you couldn't snake that tank in with the filler neck to the rear. Most likely would have created more issues though. In the end it works, that's all that matters. So if cleaning the carbs is one beer, is cleaning a tank at least two?😊
You are 100% correct! That is a tank for a 71 to 74 Oly, Elan tank would have the filler neck to the secondary clutch side, and it would have dropped in. Either way nutter's got it figured out.

There's noting that could have cleaned out that failed tank liner. Cutting it was the only way it was going to work
I just get a fuel filter that comes apart, that is the true right of passage 🤘
@@benshearer5643 Death filter. 😂

Awesome. I'd like to see that.
@nuttersspeedshop ill be sure to! It's a project I wish I filmed, alot of detail went into it.
That's an old Scorpion trick also. The steel built in tanks are bad news . Yep cut it out and go plastic.
Right. First sled I did this on was a 69 Mark I.
First sled I owned was a 69 Olympic... I vowed to never own a sled with an in chassis fuel tank again

Right on! It's a double!
Hey hey! Just got one quick question: where did you get the venturi style vacuum from? How much are they?
Clean the tank buddy! 🍻
Amazon Rob. About $50 US.
That isn't an Elan tank. That is an Oly tank. Find an Elan tank it will drop right in.
