Gas tank 82 cb650

Postby mab8686 » Sun May 11, 2014 11:08 pm

Hey all,

I need a gas tank to complete my 82 cb650. I haven't been able to find the original online and don't know how to tell which other year tanks would fit. Any advice on what specs to look for or where to find an 82 tank? Thanks!

Welcome here! I do not know the answer to your question, but for when some smart person comes along, you may wish to say whether you have a regular CB650 or the CB650SC. The tanks are vastly different. That being said, I found this one on ebay.

If you want it to look original any of the 650 tanks will bolt right on except a Zmodel(79) or the nitehawk(SC). But the problem comes in the petcock and fuel line size. Get a tank with the petcock and you can make the fuel line work.
Did you clean the tank out?!?!?!?!

To clarifiy a little bit.
The 80 CB650/CB650C used a 16mm petcock with 1/4" fuel line.
The 81 Cb650/CB650C, and 82 CB650 used the 18mm petcock with 5/16" fuel line.
The 82 CB650SC is in an orbit of its own with its own special petcock.

Getting the petcock with the tank is not as critical now as they are available from honda once again. Just make sure you know what year the tank is.

If you do happen to pick up a 80 tank. You can adapt the fuel line by maling a connector from a 1/4" hose barb, and a 5/16" hose barb, and fasten them together.

Thats not entirely right either. Some of the 81 standards got a small 80 style bung but the bigger fuel line. Thats why its best to get the petcock with the tank. There have been a few threads on all the diffs.
And remember over the years who knows what some one found to work in a pinch.
