I was pleasantly surprised to find that it held 74.7 litres usable. This is considerably more than placarded, and I was wondering if anyone else has found the same?

The first was a classic mono wheel which I built from a kit purchased from the factory in 1993. This had a fuel capacity from unusable to full of 81 litres. I now own a TriGear XS Europa built from a kit bought in around 2001 and it has a fuel capacity of only 64 litres. Not far short of 20 less??? MAY BE SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT?

My Europa is #100, I believe from 1999, so I guess I have the larger tank and I'm entirely happy with that. Has anyone rigged a secondary tank in the luggage bay to further extend range? The payload is clearly there to take it if not too full of people and other luggage.

They are matt black round rods 25mm diameter and 150mm long, obviously sawn from longer lengths. They might be some sort of hard plastic material. There are tiny chips at the edges of the sawcut ends that look almost glassy, so clearly its somewhat brittle material. Each one has a label affixed with the number 211363 (and a matching barcode). Nothing in my inventory matches the number or the description. Does anyone know what they are?
