Fuel tanks for karting: size, fitment & safety

A kart fuel tank must be securely mounted, leak-free and resistant to vibration and impact. Selecting the right tank shape and capacity helps ensure consistent fuel delivery and predictable performance. For short races and junior classes, compact tanks are common, while longer sessions often require larger capacity options.

Fuel system accessories: hoses, filters, caps & fittings

Reliable fuel supply depends on the complete system, not the tank alone. In this category you will find fuel hoses, inline fuel filters, vented fuel caps, plus seals and bulkhead fittings for service and replacement. Clean filtration reduces the risk of contamination and supports stable carburation during training and racing.

• Tank capacities: 3 litre, 5 litre and 8.5 litre (Euro tank)
• Material: impact-resistant, fuel-safe plastic for karting use
• System components: hoses, filters, caps, vents and fittings
• Spare parts: seals, grommets and pass-through parts available separately
• Mounting: brackets and damping parts for a secure chassis installation
