Having worked on motorcycles for years I have seen a few tanks. There are "plastic" tanks that can be used from the small dirt bikes that carry a gallon plus. Likely place to find them is at a used bike places like scrap yards, ebay, ect.

Fuel and water bottles are different, water bottles have a protective layer of plastic which degrades on contact with fuel, causing blockages in the carby.
I dont know if you can remove it. Best to use the right product i guess. |

I have no need for a spare tank...Everyday before I go riding, I top off the tank, & if I ever do run out of gas... I keep a 2oz bottle of oil on the bike so I can pedal to a gas station. (I live in Los Angeles, there's a gas station every 1/2 mile!) |

I Agree with the a bottle from the disposal stores designed for fuel.
Also check this out. I plan on installing one of these and having two tanks with 4 1/2 litres total capacity. Rear Fuel Tank - $42.99 |

Those 22oz MSR fuel bottles work great and I bought a double water bottle holder and attached it to my frame. Bottles fit right in and give me a lot of extra miles. Really solid aluminum bottles with seal gaskets. |

skip, u old biker u  Me being wise and all knowing have yet to find out just what an MSR bottle is. I guess I am just not with the times any more. I use a canteen from Wally World. $ 5.00 + tax. Bungee strap extra. Some rat stole my army canteen at a store. Hope he took a big swig before he figgured out it was premix. LOL!
