FLM mid tank mod is AWESOME!!!!!

[msulifter37]

I just got the FLM mid tank done with an OFNA 250cc tank. Today was the first time firing up the truck for the season. Half tank lean is definitely a thing of the past. And as for run times. WOW. I wasnt paying attention to the clock but Id say at least a half hour. I just wanted to give a thanks to everybody on the forums. You guys are a great resource. Now if I can just get my engine temps under 300. I know I know way too high. But the engine runs just fine. If you want to yell at me because of that go to the engine tuning section because I posted on there looking for some help. Anyways, FLM is good stuff for sure.

lets see some pics of that mid tank mod, I'm curious about doing it myself using the 250cc ofna tank.

I hear the OFNA 250cc tank doesn't fit on the FLM Servo Plate ??
Is that true ??

it doesn't fit, but you make a minor change to make it work. The FLM plate has a row of holes along the front of the plate - I just added a little scrap of aluminum to the front through the existing holes, and wala, it worked.

This is a pic of my son's truck with a smaller tank on it, but you get the idea:

If you decide to do this, remember you can get aluminum flat plate stock for MAYBE $3 at Lowes/Home Depot/etc to make the diving board cheap.

Now, that said, it will make something work that was not necessarily meant to work, but I would recommend getting one made for it (like Larson's, but I have not seen that yet). The difference in price is negligible, but the quality of the work is entirely dependent on your skill with a hack-saw 🙂 So far, I have been lucky 🙂

Very nice idea, but i put it an easy 3 hours last night making a template and fabing my own servo plate..

Wish I would have thought of that... I had a 250cc but returned it because I thought it wouldn't work with my FLM mount :cwm27:

You can always fab a "diving board" onto the front of it 🙂
for the front tank post to sit on
