charlie chitlins Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I've seen an auxiliary fuel tank that mounts where a front number plate would be. A "long-ride" seat that held fuel would make a trials bike the perfect trail bike! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the number plate aux tank but to be honest i wouldnt want to attach the fuel lines ect in case of a crash and would rather stick the container in my back pack. Do anyone know if an old plastic gear or pre mix oil container would melt with petrol in it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasgas23 Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 ill get on that tomorrow! ill keep you posted. The only other thing, would the shaking of the fuel in the back pack cause pressure to build up?? cos it would blow those plastic containers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazz229 Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Hmmmm good point! Although I'm not totally convinced that shaking it about causes pressure. (Feel free to correct me anyone) As far as I'm aware it's heat that causes the pressure to build up from the gasses it releases.... I could be wrong there though!

2stroke4stroke Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 "I may have explained myself a bit badly. when i said im going to go trail riding, i didnt mean 8 hours down a flat fire road, i ment more single trail, hilly and technical trails. Not covering much distance but a lot of riding in a short space." All you're doing is replicating a lap or two of between section going in a "proper" trial. Just ride the thing as it is and you'll be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0007 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Hit your local dollar store and get some aluminum drink containers or if you want, a chainsaw shop will have aluminum fuel containers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
