VKA VKA4010 4-Quart Aluminum Fuel Tank - Low-Profile Floor Mount - Sprint & Speedway
When sourcing premium go kart parts, lowering your chassis's center of gravity is just as critical as dialing in your tire pressures. The VKA4010 4-Quart Low-Profile Aluminum Fuel Tank delivers exactly that, hugging the floor pan with a compact 7 3/4" x 8" x 5 1/4" footprint to keep weight distribution optimized for high-speed cornering. Built from heavy-gauge aluminum, this tank is engineered to survive the brutal vibrations and debris impacts of sprint and speedway racing, ensuring your fuel supply remains secure from the green flag to the checkered.
Unmatched Durability & Clearance for Brake Pistons
Unlike standard plastic jugs that warp or crack under stress, this aluminum chassis tank offers superior thermal dissipation and structural rigidity. The rear-mounted petcock simplifies your plumbing, keeping fuel lines safely routed away from hot exhaust components and moving parts like brake pistons. This streamlined setup not only improves safety but makes frantic pit stops and mid-race repairs significantly faster, ensuring your braking and fuel systems operate without interference.
Seamless Integration with Your Kart Steering Wheel Setup
Whether you are installing a new go kart steering wheel upgrade or reconfiguring your pedal box, the floor-mount design of the VKA4010 frees up critical space in the driver's compartment. The low-slung profile ensures zero interference with your steering column or kart steering wheel, allowing for a more ergonomic and aggressive driving posture. You get the clearance you need to maneuver flawlessly through tight hairpins.
