Velo Solex 2200 Fuel Tank Replacement

A customer recently had a problem where he needed to replace the Fuel Tank on his Velo Solex 2200 model as it was beyond repair.

 

  • The Velo Solex 2200 had a metal tank compared to the later 3800 models. It would seem obvious to replace the 2200 fuel tank with the 3800 one however there are some differences in the way the fuel systems are connected up.
  • To replace the Velo Solex 2200 Fuel Tank you will also need to replace the two pipes that connect to the fuel pump and you will also need to replace the 2200 fuel pump with the 3800 fuel pump. After this has been done you should be good to go.
  • The replacement plastic tanks while not being as sturdy as a metal tank will ensure that you do not get rust particles in the fuel system and so are less likely to experience fuel pumping issues.
