Man, keeping gasoline in an aluminum bottle rattling around on the rear rack souds to me like a flame thrower waiting to happen. Water bladders sound worse. That "gray dust" is the metal slowly wearing away. A leak seem imminent.

I've seen small reserve tanks that fit in under the left side cover where the coolant res is. I've seen the over the light ones and theres one that fits right on the rear rack.

All of these are over engineered, rotomolded and intend for carring gas. They are pricey though. After you pay for an aux tank you could have upgraded to the IMS and had $$$$ left over.


I saw them at http://www.justgastanks.com


Baja Designs makes 2 for mounting under left side cover

Why are our Aussie members missing the Aussie model? This might have possibilities...although the smallest model is 2.1 gallons!

 

What about the plastic bottle that Coleman fuel comes in?? Looks tough enough to me. Slip a couple of them into your side pockets of the fanny pack and you are good to go. you know that Coleman has the bottle designed to be leak proof or their attorneys would have a real time with lawsuits otherwise.

Just a thought!,

I've looked at add on tanks specific to the KLX and others. ARE THEY OUT OF THEIR MINDS with these prices??!!??

I've been doing some outside the box looking around and have come across sites that sell fuel cells for remote control vehicles, gokarts, mini bikes and aftermarket lawn mower parts.

I've found some pretty interesting things for rediculous money.

I 'm getting closer but so far no cigar. I did find a 32 oz roto molded fuel tank for RC that was $499........................OOPS, I mean $4.99 !!!!!!

Ok. It's 32 oz but 2 of those is 1 gal. Certainly worth $10.00, doncha think??

I've found others for mowers and gokarts that are like in the $25-$50 range but bigger. Many would install easily on the rear rack but I'm looking for somewthing that will mount on the sides of the rack like mini saddlebag fuel cells.

I'm thinking they could be mounted on both side of the rack and plumbed into a T then straight to the petcock with another T and a seperate petcock for the aux tanks. I'm looking for a cylindrical shape. A third could fit in front of the bars if a person wanted.

Has anybody else looked into this?? We are all MODDER fixers, we don't have to use what manufactuers make just for our rides, do we??

 

Ziplock baggies are made to hold alot of things. Would those work?

How do the platypus bladders do with sharp sticks at 30 mph ??

I would HIGHLY reccomend riding your bike in internal combustion trim and leave the external combustion riding to the hard core guys.

No wonder Bill keeps his in his garage.
