Most weed whacker and chainsaw bikes require a larger or easier to get to fuel tank. I have been wracking my brain such as it is and I think I have come up with something easy to build and which should work fine, I am going to give it a shot this weekend. Here is the idea.
Build a rigid holder something I can use a pipe clamp to attach to the bike frame. the holder will be made from pvc pipe joints, they are very rigid. Two of them together should be enough probably three inch in diameter will be best. Could probably go with four as well for a larger tank. I have a 32 oz bottle that will fit in a three inch joint. Remember the joint is a little larger than the pipe's inside diameter.
Now epoxy them together to form a tube. Then get an end cap for the same size pipe and epoxy it to the bottom now you have a cylinder with an open top. inside the cylinder insert a plastic film juice bottle. Take the plastic cap and drill two holes in it for the gas lines. Attach a fuel filter to the bottom of one line.
Pour gas into the bottle,. Then instead of twisting the lid on turn the bottle inside the case to tighten the lid. Or you could pretwist the cap then twist it back to keep the lines fairly straight, You get the picture I;m sure. It should work peachy keen....
You will need a funnel with a hose attached to the bottom to fill the tank but I use one of those now.
