Aluminum Ducati tanks made in India

[Eldert]

Hi Guys

if anyone is looking for a Alu tank for a racer or caféracer a guy in India is making these .

he also made me some alu tanks for the 450 RT

there is a thread going at the Ducati MS forum about this :

http://www.ducati.ms/forums/14-vintage/ ... tanks.html

i bought 10 tanks from this guy and had no problems so far . once they have a sample tank the lead time for a tank
is very short . no years of waiting like other places .

here a picture of the caféracer tank

Which ducati tanks does he have available? I have seen the Elite jelly-mold and the RT. I am thinking about have him do the chrome scrambler tank.

Hi Sebouh

you have to contact Rohan about the Scrambler tank . he might have a sample tank allready

last april i went to the Reggio Emilia swapmeet in Italie and a guy from Austria , Wolfgang was selling aluminum and steel
RT tanks . i looked at the tanks and said to him made in India . he looked at me and said how do you know , i replied to him i supplied the sample tank . Wolgang then told me he send a scrambler tank to Rohan to copy

Hi, new to the forum and Ducati,

I’m in the market for a tank for my 1965 scrambler? Are these tanks still available and any idea of cost.
Thanks

I can't vouch for these guys, but followed the links in this old, old thread.

You could also PM Eldert. He had said that he had purchased a number of tanks successfully, that was 8 - 10 years ago. He may have a source. I am looking for a Diana tank for a project bike, so let us know how you make out.

Many thanks Gregwils,

I have contacted the fuel tank maker and I will update you as soon as I have a reply. My only worry is, he is selling scrambler 350 tank and I have a 250, do you know if the tanks were the same?

I don't know with certainty, not a Scrambler owner. They appear different to me. I regularly see used Scrambler tanks on eBay, so you could watch for one there too.

I have also sent tanks to India to be copied in aluminium.
This was in the last few months.
The Indian supplier was advertising them on E-bay until very recently, but has currently stopped doing so.
This is solely due to the worldwide Coronavirus outbreak, with restrictions on movement in India.
Once the crisis is over, I would guess that all the Indian suppliers will be advertising their tanks again.

The widecase 250 Scrambler tank is the same as the widecase 350 Scrambler tank.

Are they also the same for the 450 Scrambler ?
