Does anybody have a suggestion where I can pick up a fuel can carrier locally in Dallas, TX. I was looking for something like the Mad Dog multi-purpose carrier. Cabellas list them, but they have to order them and I need it by this weekend.

When I have gone on trips before, a single tank of gas would last me all day, but I was just told that on the 850, it will not last.

I have checked the web sites for Cabellas, Bass Pro, Tractor Supply, Northern tool, Harbor Freight, Autozone, 4 Wheel performance and several others, but nobody carries something so simple.

If I can't find one, I may try to fab one tonight.

Thanks.

 

Have you checked Cabellas in Allen? They show to carry Kolpin fuel tanks.

 

They do have those, and I may have to go that rout, but I really wanted to go with something like:

Mad Dog Gear® Multipurpose Carrier, Luggage & Bags, ATV & UTV Accessories, Auto & ATV : Cabelas.com

I already have plenty of spare gas cans laying around and the Koplins are super expensive for what they are, imo..

 

I've been considering the fuel packs and feel they're the best route for an ATV. With that said the rig by mad dog is a pretty simple design and would be easy to build. I made something very similar to hold a cooler for the back of a raptor. Took less than an hour to build.

 

Ok, so I dug around the garage some and using some left over parts, came up with this.









It took me about 30 minutes to put it all together and cost $0 so far.

I am going to have to run by the hardware store and buy a special bolt to attach it to the back rack. I did not want to drill any holes in the rack so I am using stock mounting holes. I plan on using a single bolt and the weight of my bag on the back to hold it down. I filled it up with water and it seems very solid,even with out the bolt threaded.

It will not rub against the back even with the hardest bounces, but I may still put a rubber or foam block between the bracket and the rear bumper for protection. I am also going to get a rubber pad to go under the bracket where it sits on the rack.
