250 miles from a tank.

[darrsi]

I wouldn't over worry about the filings, there is a magnetic bung on the bottom of my 99. U can see it when u look straight into the tank.... ( see it slightly better when it's empty  :lol ) I hadn't a clue what it was until I seem crap stuck to it and when I put an extendable magnetic  screwdriver in it got sucked to it lol.

I'm sure even a very small air gap is fine, just make sure your vent pipe isn't caught or kinked under the tank, which has happened and the tank gets sucked in.... :eek

Not sure how your magnetic bung is gonna help my bike?  :lol
