Why install an off-road motorcycle tank foam?

At each bend, acceleration, braking, jump or even bump, the fuel present in the tank undergoes sloshing which disrupts the behavior of the vehicle. This movement directly affects your ride by making gasoline up to 3 times heavier than its actual weight.

The sloshing of gasoline actually causes a movement of force side which can come to destabilize your frame which obliges to compensate with the handlebar. This movement of the fuel in the tank also results in a risk of lifting and therefore an entry of air into your fuel circuit.

What is tank foam?

Composed of a multitude of micropores, the fuel tank foam will play a stabilizing role by preventing the movement of the fuel, thus improving the stability of your motorcycle and avoiding the planing . Its porous structure means that it only slightly reduces the capacity of the tank.

There are two types of foam depending on the fuel you are using: gasoline engine foam (10L capacity), and diesel engine foam (28L). They are easily cut into pieces to facilitate installation and adapt perfectly to your tank or in the form of cubes.

The tank foam is specially designed and manufactured not to crumble and release fine particles into the tank that can seep into your engine or clog the fuel system. gasoline.

Despite this, the life of a foam is limited and it is advisable to renew it approximately every 5 years so as not to clog the tank.

The foam tank is an interesting addition for any motorcyclist looking for stability in the performance of their motorcycle. Motorcycle tank foam has two purposes:

• Avoid fuel sloshing around in the tank.

• Prevent fuel from squirting out of the tank in the event of an accident.

How to install foam tank?

Installing tank foam achieves 2 goals:

- Reduce the incidence of fuel movement during the "braking/acceleration/cornering" phases.

- In the event of an accident, if the tank is punctured, the foam will avoid the "geyser" effect and will limit the risk of fire by causing only a trickle of gasoline in the event of a punctured tank.

In addition, foam is mandatory in competition for fiber tanks.

Tank Preparation

The tank must be dismantled and drained.

It is recommended to thoroughly clean the cubes with gasoline before placing them to remove any impurities and avoid any deposits.

Installing the foam

You must of course cut the foam (a saw is fine) according to the shape of your tank and the access available.

Retention foam is the ideal solution to prevent fuel movements in the tank of your motorcycle.

Indeed, this special foam is introduced inside your tank and once inside, it absorbs the gasoline preventing it from wandering around in the tank when braking and in the turns. The bike is more stable.

In addition, if during a crash, your tank is punctured, the gasoline trapped in the foam flows more smoothly. This also prevents gasoline from spilling on the track during the fall, a critical moment when fire can get involved! Moreover, it is mandatory on the different ChampionEuropean and world speed nats.

The foam tank reduces the impact of fuel movement during braking, acceleration, jumps, cornering... Indeed, fuel near The feeling in the tank undergoes a sloshing which disturbs the behavior of the motorcycle and directly affects your driving, making your gasoline up to 3 times heavier than its initial weight.
