You can get a gallon gas tank on EBay from boygofast that's just like the one that comes with the kit but bigger.
I may get one of those in the Spring, but right now I carry a 1 gallon gas can on the back rack. |

From the army navy store I have a water canteen plastic same material that makes the gas tanks you find everywhere. It holds 1/4 of a gallon of gas just like my tank on my Titan engine. It's all I need. With today's prices 50 cents over fills it. I can go about 40 miles on a tank Cherry Creek being 26 miles from my house I can make it there and 3/4 of the way home before running out and my canteen would fill it right back up again. But when I use my canteen I only empty half of it for sometimes I forget. When I run down and the moment the other half goes in it's straight to the gas station with two quarters.

Hey LF that same army navy store probably has a beautiful deep red anodized spare Coleman fuel container. Will make you want to mount it so everybody can see it. .750 ml, I think. About $7.
And it's made for fuel. And it's purty. Looks like a missile. Sorta like this one without the graphics.

50:1 mix, a customer passed on a tip, a vegetable oil bottle in my saddlebags, and it worked for a long trip...then HE started carrying his in a plastic whiskey bottle.
So then I put some in a mouthwash bottle, was in a store parking lot about an hour away when I pulled it out to fill up, and a guy stopped dead in his tracks, me pouring that green stuff in the tank...
"Haven't you heard of the alcohol fueled small engines?" I asked him. "I buy Scope by the barrel full, cheaper than gas, 55 gallon drum runs me about $32 bucks."
I think that fish got hooked, but I just cranked up and headed on down the road. |

I was thinking about a syringe with 2 stroke oil in it . could put a shot in tank and fill up at the gas station like the 4 strokers. just got to do the math.
Is this a Bad idea ?????  |

Is this a Bad idea ????? | On a broken-in GEBE, where you have to mix on the road, I did the math, and syringes are messy.
The cap on the bottle holds between 4-5 cc (or mls), so a full 22 oz. tank takes 4 capfuls, a half tank takes 2 caps.
What I do is fill the main tank at a station, add the capfulls, then have pure gas in my spares, mix it when I pour it in the engine tank, pre mixing is also messy and not worth the effort. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
