Ohh.. so you recomend inspecting your fuel containers for wear? I see.. this could be a good idea [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
I have been wondering about using a portable boat tank as an auxiliary fuel tank on a quad. Since they come in a range of capacities and are specifically built to withstand vibration and shock loads it seems to me they would be ideal for this use. The thickness of the plastic in the tanks I have on our boat is considerably thicker than that in the fuel containers from Wal-Mart or Schuck's. Anyone have any experience using these as fuel carriers on quads?
Not a bad idea.. and you could have a hose witha ball on it for a tranfer pump [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Mind you an electric pump that plugs in your 12v outlet would be much faster transfer [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

be sure to get one that has the foam in it,,,,so the gas doesnt slosh around

Don't know as how I would be comfortable with having an open tank and the potential for sparking from a switch or plug in system to turn the pump on/off. Non-arcing equipment is available but just how complicated does a person want to make this?
