Fuel Reserve bottle
« on: July 16, 2019, 03:13:36 PM »
Any suggestions for a fuel reserve bottle for a scooter? The ones I've seen are designed to be poured directly into a MC gas tank. A lot of scooters don't have openly accessible gas tanks and may require a funnel to pour the gas in. Are there any bottles that have that kind of an attachment, or should I just jury-rig something?

Only place in N America I know you need to carry fuel on bike or scooter is James Bay road in Canada---never had problem even riding to AK----my rule is look for fuel every 100 miles in strange territory, known places and destination I will go 150 miles-----I just hate walking.

Some expensive camp fuel bottles should be safe.

I sometimes carry a one liter camp-fuel (aluminum) bottle - keep it wrapped in some bubble wrap and inside a resealable plastic bag.
