Never heard of a GZ with a fuel guage.

I know my 2000gz doesnt have a fuel gauge either. But inside the tank is the gauge stuff (on mine). The petcock hole should just be 1 pre drilled hole, correct? Maybe 3/4 in size more or less ?

I'm not sure what bike you have man, but the pic he's posting is of a factory GZ250 tank... The opening that you see is designed for the factory petcock. Given that so many other things on your bike were switched over to something else (like the wheels) you may have a non standard petcock. So you've been trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.

Can you snap a pic of whatever the heck it is that you have going on down there?

I will get pictures, hell yeah. Hahaa, crazy. Round peg in a square hole for sure. Then i will need that petcock that comes with the tank. I knew mine wasnt stock.

Even if you had to get a brand new petcock, they're just like $81 over @ Ronayers.

So used needs to be less than that.

Waiting on schoolers response. Hes a lifesaver. I mean bikesaver :/

I'm selling him my petcock too for an extra $20, it's brand new, been used for about 2 miles while the mechanic was workin on it. I threw away the bolts though that hold the petcock on the tank though, so I'll order those off Ron Ayers and have 'em shipped to your house.

You are the reason forum sales are awesome!

That was a great deal.

Thanks for helping a fellow rider.
