Dual petcock?

[MatCauthon137]

Ok, so I had this crazy idea. Mount the stock gas tank on front, and I found a flat rear gas tank. The problem is hooking up the secondary tank. I'd need a y shaped petcock and 3 hoses so I can shut off one tank and turn on the other...
Can't find such a creature however. Anyone have any other ideas or know where to find these?

Why not just put a petcock on each tank and then all you'd need is a 'Y' barb fitting to join the two lines to the carburetor. You don't need a 'Y' petcock.
Keep in mind that your rear tank will need to be mounted high enough that the fuel outlet is higher than the carburetor inlet.

you can find a Y shape connector at lowes. if it doesnt fit thru the hose, you can heat the end of the hose to expand it and then slide it on.

Any t-connector will work, along with each tank's petcock.

Awesome guys, thanks. I got so focused on the dual that I didn't even think of that.

Yeah, made it out of a vegetable juice can

Very simple to do

Got the idea from Rockenstein

Home depot

The tough part was getting the hose to fit as the fitting was a couple sizes too big.
