Yeah, I don't why they have them, the best thing you can do if you cant find a Viza tank would be to get a 1.5 liter Go-Ped brand tank and you'll can use some spacer to mount it on and some straps I guess

So far it's the only alternative I have. I can't believe there is no direct replacement available, but I guess if the Viza moderator isn't contributing, there must not be. I'll look around at other replacement gas tanks, too. The Go-Ped tank might be the best option, but there may be others as well. I can't believe I'm the only one out there who has had this problem. |

yesterday i discovered that my tank has a small crack in it. Im trying to fill the crack first, the only thing I had around was some silicon hopefully that will seal it up for a while. If your tank isnt to bad maybe you can use some epoxy or maybe some fiberglass bondo. I dunno what would work best but i will let you know if the silicon thing works out for me.

The "plastic welder" epoxy has been on for a few days and is holding strong!!! JB weld probably would have worked too.
here is my procedure:
i removed the tank.
degreased the outside.
lightly sanded the cracked area.
applied a few coats of the epoxy.
waited 24hr.
filled the tank.

I found a fuel tank for a v2 at extremetoys.com, the question I have is will it fit a v1. I think I have a viper, its yellow with the snake on the deck. It has a 33cc mitsubishi motor. If anybody knows if they are the same or close enough to make them work please let me know.

You have the Venom, I'm not if the V2 gastank fits, but you can probably make a small brack to make it fit right. |

GAS TANK REPAIR::: NO GLUES WILL HOLD UP ON THIS PLASTIC BECAUSE THE OIL. YOU MUST EMPTY THE TANK. WASH IT OUT. LET DRY. FIND EXACTLY WHERE THE SMALL CRACK IS IN TANK. THEN TAKE A SOLDER IRON & GENTLY MELT THE PLASTIC BACK TOGETHER OR GET PLASTIC FROM ANOTHER TANK & MELT IT INTO THE CRACK IN TANK. WORKED FOR ME. THIS WAY THE GASOLINE DOESN'T EAT AWAY AT THE EPOXY.

Hi, Where can I find a gas tank for my Viza Viper scooter? My tank is cracked and I can't seem to seal the leaks in it You can buy some gas tank epoxy that should work. It comes as a role of putty in two layers that you cut to size then knead together to mix it. If the cracks are hairline ones like mine is and as yours probably are then you will want to use a triangular needle type file or even faster use a wood rasp file to cut the crack a bit wider so the putty has something to bite into and swell into the underside of the tank a bit when you press it into the crack. clean off any dirt and grease with fresh gas before applying it. the stuff works great I once used it to fill the hole I drilled into the bottom of a tank I was draining as I was too lazy to take the tank off and drain it. The siphon I was using was having trouble getting it out. It never leaked a drop afterwards and still isn't. It is made by JB Weld I think and is brown on the outside green on the inside. It's designed specifically to work with stuff that comes into prolonged contact with gas and may even still have gas around it when applied. No duct tape or tuck tape will woek the glue melts nearly instantly once the gas hits the adhesive and every other glue or two part epoxy I have tried can take very much contact with gas either. The only other way to tackle the problem is to find some similar type of plastic and then to melt it into the crack with a soldering iron similar to patching drywall in concept. It can be trickier to do it though and do well where it won't either crack again when cooling which is why you use a similar type of plastic or that you screw up by using too much heat and melting the crack into a bunch of holes as you cry "no no no no no please don't drip into the tank... GODDAMIT!" Hope this helps you or someone in a similar problem |
