TVS Apachi OM Petrol Tank BLACK

Tvs Apachi Om Petrol Tank Black

Looking for a factory-standard replacement fuel tank for your TVS Apache RTR 160 / 180? At Bike Spare Parts, our replacement TVS Petrol Tanks are manufactured using heavy-gauge deep-drawn cold-rolled coil (CRC) sheet steel to match original equipment manufacturer specifications. Whether you are replacing a rusted, dented daily commuter tank or restoring a smooth Indian commuter classic, this fuel tank provides authentic styling, leak-free seams, and long-lasting durability.

Every petrol tank undergoes rigorous multi-point quality inspections, including internal chemical phosphate anti-rust treatment to prevent rust scale from contaminating your fuel jets or fuel pump. The exterior is finished with high-gloss automotive PU paint (Black) and protected by a petrol-resistant UV clear coat to maintain a showroom shine against monsoon rain, intense sunlight, and accidental fuel spills during daily refilling.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

1. Pre-Installation Petrol Rinse: Before installing on your TVS Apache RTR 160 / 180, pour half a litre of fresh petrol into the tank, swirl thoroughly, and drain completely through the tap outlet to remove any transit packing particles.
2. Inspect Frame Dampers: Check the rubber mount cushions on your motorcycle frame backbone. Hardened or missing cushions can transmit engine vibrations; replace worn dampers before tightening the rear bracket bolt.
3. Fresh Fuel Tap / Sensor O-Ring: Always install a new fuel petcock or fuel sensor rubber gasket to prevent petrol seepage and ensure uninterrupted fuel flow.
4. Exterior Clear Coat Care: Wipe off any overfilled petrol spills promptly with a soft microfibre towel and apply automotive paste wax every 3 months to preserve showroom gloss.
