The Egg Tank Kit (G2-00060) lets you fit a rounded egg-style tank to the Estrella/250TR (up to '06). It shares its instruction manual with the Peanut Tank Kit, which uses the egg tank as the example (the egg tank and peanut tank install the same way).
Following Chapters 01-09, this page walks you through installation, then wraps up with a fuel line connection diagram and notes.

03 Connecting the fuel line
Run the fuel line from the fuel cock through the hose and filter to the carburetor. Use the included threaded plug on the manifold's vacuum port.
The fuel cock included with this product is not the Estrella's stock vacuum-operated type. You'll need to cancel the vacuum hose that runs from the intake manifold.
- Use sealing tape when installing the fuel cock.
- Use the included zip ties at each hose joint.
04 Before use
We take every care with the tank itself, but before painting this product, always check for fuel leaks or other problems. If a fuel leak or other problem is found after painting or modification, we cannot cover or compensate for painting or modification costs.
Always check that all fasteners are tight before use. Tighten bolts and nuts to the proper torque. After a tip-over or similar incident, stop using it and be sure to inspect it. If you notice anything unusual during use, stop using it immediately and inspect it. If you are unsure about the installation, be sure to have it done by someone experienced or by a custom shop.
