Where do you carry your spare gasoline.

Where did you find a 1 gallon tank? I've been looking for one.

how about one of these? Or 2 for you long-haulers Sports Authority - Brunton Aluminum Fuel Bottle

for now I use the same Dr. Pepper 20 oz. bottle that I mix fuel in. *puts flame retardant suit on*
I know this is not the best way to do it but it works for me until I can get a better bottle.

I carry spare fuel in a 5L vintage Czech gas cans:
ZAA-075 - Czech 1 Gallon Fuel Can Lightweight Steel Latching Lid, Handle Used

I have two of these cans and with both and a full tank of gas, could travel over 460 miles before needing to stop at a gas station.

These euro design cans are about the safest way to move fuel around. They do not leak, they are almost indestructible, and they last forever. Only down side is that you have to carry a flexible nozzle to attach to the can if you intend on getting most the fuel into the tank.

Nozzle is here:
ZBQ-1411 - Military Fuel Can Nozzle with Rubber Hose Fits NATO Style Fuel Cans - Hose is Replacable

I use 1 liter camping bottles at the moment but I was wondering if an old alloy powdered fire extinguisher canister would work. Do they have a plastic lining? Can this be removed? They come in loads of sizes.

For anyone reading this thread who dosent know what a MSR fuel bottle is, this is what they are talking about. I use the middle size and it fits in my extra water bottle holder. A source to get a MSR bottle.

Got Army Surplus? An old cantine is a great way to carry extra fuel. Mine is alumnium. Cost less than 5.00 but that was a while back.

I mention this only because I havnt seen it yet, and I know that I dont have a mb built yet but it seems like alogical idea.

just about any joes, sportsmans warehouse, or outdoor/fitness store (**** Ive even seen them at Wal mart) carry aluminum water bottles. why not mount this to your frame somewhere and use it.

Its not plastic so there wont be the possibility of breaking down. its a sturdy container that will fit in a water bottle cage, and they only cost like 3-5 bucks.

Thats what Im going to do

Just an odd thought I had awhile back for a different kind of fuel tank. An old portable size fire extinguisher bottle, slightly modified, slung beneath the cross bar. That way you can do away with the peanut tank on top. It might give a more board track racer look if that's what you want. That still puts some weight up high though...

I have one of those on my back porch. It is so old that it is worthless now. I saw it last week when I was looking for something to use. I also saw one of my butane cylinders as well. But I want something with the filler in the side not the top if I'm going to that amount of trouble.

I have seen some old john deere mower thanks that are round with a center spout. I think I'm going to ride my bike to the lawn mower shop and see what they have there.

The chainsaw bike needs a fuel tank.
