zander250 Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Does anyone know if you can get somthing that can carry fuel easily off road and is not dangerous. Has any one heard of something called a fuel belt. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doogle Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Outdoor shops sell fuel bottles for carrying fuel for camping stoves. They are about .6 of a litre or 1L normally. I normally carry one of the smaller ones in my camel back if I am riding a long single lap trial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zander250 Posted November 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Ok thanks but do any companies make a kind of belts that you clip on fuel canisters on to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pschrauber Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 What about "Fuel Friend" bottles, I have two of them (1,00 L size each) and they are very handy to use. They come in different sizes, have strap's if you want to attach them somewhere to the bike or just store them in your bag as I do. They are very solid and the lock doesn't leak any gasoline even if the tank is under pressure or laid in the sun.

zander250 Posted November 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Thanks, I have checked both sites and I was wandering if any british company makes anything like the outlaw trials stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pschrauber Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 The stuff from outlawstrials are just swiss made SIGG bottles (found here: https://www.sigg.com/en_deat/ ) where they sewed some fabric around ... and they take a lot of Money for them, (if you wan't to hear my opinion). These SIGG bottles are very good but more for own personal drinks, using them for petrol or gasoline is wasted money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadof2 Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Is it Beta who do a tank that fits on the forks? probably fit other bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renegade master Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I personally use Primus 1L fuel bottles they seem to do the trick, but if you search on the internet theres lots of different options available like a rucksack with built in bladder tank! or bolt on fuel cells "http://www.adventureparts.co.uk/Adventure-Chassis-BLACK-2-x-1-LitreTanks" or depending on the make of trials bike you can buy another tank that has a larger capacity! but most of these are expensive, thats why I would recommend the primus fuel bottles they cost about 12euro per bottle and work great!

copemech Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Pop bottles work, darn well too. As all else, at your own risk. Try and break one if you think I am joking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thats_a_five Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 There are three different fork mounted tanks. Acerbis makes two sizes: I think they are about 3 liters and 6 liters. Hebo makes (not sure if still in production) a small one that holds about 1 liter. I have used a bicycle water bottle holder, hose clamped onto one fork, with a metal water or gas bottle. I prefer a good strong metal bottle to plastic because they are stronger and have much stronger caps in case of an unplanned contact with a tree or rock.

shedracer Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) One of these works well, specifically for fuel, made of plastic, you can find it on the net. Edited November 13, 2013 by shedracer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
