benspeed888 Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 i decided to try to get the dents out of my beamish tank tonite. my mate came over, we blocked up th petrol tap hole, fitted the air hose to the petrol cap breather, then i went to make a cuppa. when i got back, my mate is standing there with a sheepish look, and what looks like a yellow football. he just let rip with the compressor tap and promptly heard a loud DINK!! noise. luckaly the pipe blew off the petrol cap, so it didnt explode. so if anyone know of a beamish tank, please let me know. cheers Ben ps i'll try and sort some pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpa3 Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 I know it's too late but on our road race bikes, we fill the tanks up with water before pumping in the air, it slows things down a little. And it is also safer. Compressed air causes quite a lot of friction, this creates heat and we all know what we get when we mix oxygen, petrol and heat!

steve shakeshaft Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Oh dear. Well worth keeping an eye on EBay. I have been surprised by the amount of Beamish stuff that goes on there. There must be more bikes out there than I thought. Sad that they're being destroyed though. I saw a frame for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
