- January 31, 2015, 15:33:59 PM Oh here we go. I have been looking at this because up here we have some long stretches between fuel points. when I first bought the bike and went on a ride to my sister's, and not sure of how far I could get. I did the poor man thing and filled a 2 liter soda bottle with gas. Not the safest thing to do.
Those aluminum bottles for white gas they do not vent, or most do not. If you are going to carry gas it needs to be in a container that vents.
I am looking at one of these,
but have not been able to find one, in the local area. There is a company that does add on tanks for bikes but they are dear. So brain storming ideas now.....

I know they make aluminum bottles for camping to store camp stove fuel (basically gasoline) that would work (30 oz, or I've seen a 1.5L version) - and I could use a fire extinguisher bracket made to mount to a buggy roll bar - to mount said bottle to the frame somewhere..... But looks like I'd have $40 or somewhere in the neighborhood.
Looking to pick some brains for other better-cheaper ideas... Of course safety is the #1 criteria in the end.Ideas?
