Default Larger Fuel Tank?????

Does anyone make a larger fuel tank for the 90cc minis???
Specifically, a larger fuel tank for the '05 Eton Viper? It seems these little quads will run out of fuel before my kids do on long rides. And I'm about to pipe&jet. That should only make it use more fuel.
Anybody seen some tanks?

Thanks,
Jesse

One problem with the mini's is when you run out of gas they won't pick up when you switch to reserve. We used to run ours on reserve all the time. Doing this you can use all the fuel in the tank. Recently I removed the main fuel line and now just have one coming from the reserve nozzle on the tank. The reserve nozzle has a small filter that fits in it and extends up into the tank, I removed this because it can restrict the flow of fuel. I also changed out the fuel line to a 1/4" line to keep from not getting enough fuel to the carb. I made these changes for racing. I don't think anyone makes a larger tank, unless a tank from a larger quad would fit but I haven't heard of any as of yet.

I am seriously thinking of converting the oil tank into a reserve fuel tank, and just mixing the gas. Anyone think of why it won't work?

That would probly work well if you could find a better sealing cap for it. I've heard alot of people having trouble with the oil in that tank coming out and getting all over their quads. That is what many people do though is add some sort of tank to hold more fuel and run out of both of them at the same time.
