malenurse13 Posted July 7, 2018 #1 Posted July 7, 2018 I pulled my gas tank off the other day, did a few things, and put it back on. Then I found this on my garage floor!! I looked in the manual and I can see where it goes... But what is it for??
SilvrT Posted July 8, 2018 #2 Posted July 8, 2018 . But what is it for?? As stated, it goes between the gas tank and the frame at the back of the tank. Those fins are cooling fins ... they are there to expel heat generated by your family jewels ........
MikeWa Posted July 8, 2018 #3 Posted July 8, 2018 Yes. What they said. It also keeps the tank from blowing up. So I would put it back on if I were you. Mike
MiCarl Posted July 8, 2018 #4 Posted July 8, 2018 You'd have to talk to the engineers who put it there to know for sure, but I can think of three things it might do: Distribute the weight of a tank that is very heavy when full. Isolate the tank from the frame so when low on fuel it doesn't drum from vibration. Let the frame flex separately from the tank. Keeps the tank from buckling on a rough ride. Regardless, it has a purpose. Put it back.
