I bought one from these folks earlier this year. Just needs to be repainted.
andy york Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 physically it should fit. you will have to fill the hole somehow. piece by piece could cost a small fortune.
Scud Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Maybe you could find an internal fuel pump, re-route your fuel lines, and remove the pump and filter from the frame. If not, you'll need to drill into the tank for a petcock and a pressure regulator. When you have them side by side, you'll know what to do. The fuel doors are the same - so no worries there.
czakky Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 It's probably gonna sit on the shelf for a while. I've also bought some gauges off a bike with 900 miles. Might be a mild restoration.
brlawson Posted October 17, 2016 Author Posted October 17, 2016 The whole idea for getting one in my case was to get rid of all the external plumbing and seal the inside so I don't have use to pure gas apps or worry about getting it started after a hot stop. I was also able to find a complete used fuel pump assembly from Teo Lamers for cheap. Also, I had read in another thread that a small notch in the frame may be required.
Kiwi_Roy Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Harpers list all the parts but I'm sure you can pick up a used unit from a parts bike just be sure to replace the plastic filter with an all metal one. Browsing the forums most owners seem to be wanting to go the other way from internal to external, not sure why as with everything internal the hoses must be much simpler. Most cars have an internal pump, perhaps a visit to your local auto wrecker.
JRD Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 Czakky- Bill, you might also check the part numbers from Aprilia and Ducati to see if their EFI fuel pumps are the same or compatible. That will expand the number of used units possibly available. Good luck and keep us posted. Jerry
docc Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 Who is the manufacturer of the pump assembly itself?
czakky Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 Good point JRD. I guess I'm looking for the whole asssmbly including the plate that everything attaches too. @Docc, there was an assembly on eBay for a v11 Cali (used) and the name brand was Biruni (?) or something. Anyway it sold but it looked very similar to the v11 internal part so I was just curious.
brlawson Posted March 30, 2017 Author Posted March 30, 2017 Yet another late model fuel tank...cheap. Also, a properly priced fuel pump assembly. http://www.ebay.ie/itm/KIT-ELETTROPOMPA-MOTO-GUZZI-V11-NUOVA-/232055841576?hash=item36079b2328:g:PUEAAOSwV0RXuf3t http://www.ebay.ie/itm/GU-01100290-ACERBI-Serbatoio-TANK-Benzintank-tanque-Fueltank-MOTO-GUZZI-V11-/122223304241?hash=item1c75139e31:g:LwgAAOSwgY9Xfmkg
sp838 Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 I have fitted a 2002+ tank on my 2001, fits better than the original one. I had it lined to prevent bloating and melting from crappy ethanol gas. Was pretty easy to convert to internal pump etc. The fuel hoses are a little tricky to route but it worked out great. I used Goodridge metal quick disconnects in the hoses so that I wouldn't have to fuss with the plastic ones, which scare me because they seem so easy to break. The wires for the electric petcock were freed up, and I am using them as a switched power source for a handle bar mounted USB plug to charge my phone.
