If you’re a motorcycle enthusiast, you may be wondering how to carry extra fuel on your bike. Many people have come up with innovative solutions to this problem, including siphoning gas from another bike to the one you’re riding. However, it’s not always practical to use equipment that can siphon fuel. In such cases, carrying extra fuel is an easy, but necessary, solution. Read on to learn about the many options available to you.
MSR Bottles
The MSR Bottles for carrying extra fuel on your motorcycle are great for emergencies. They are designed to fit perfectly with all MSR liquid fuel stoves and fuel pumps. The bottle can also be used for chainsaws, motorcycles, and scooters. The bottles also double as disaster preparedness kits, and you can use them to carry water when you need to go farther than your bike tank can handle.
Adventure Moto Fuel Bags
If you’re planning a long trip on a motorcycle, you’ll want to consider investing in a good set of fuel bags. These bladders are designed for carrying extra fuel in a lightweight, flexible way and are stronger than hydration packs. Depending on your needs, you can choose between 5.5 litre, 12 litre, or 20 litre versions. Depending on the type of trip you’re planning, you may want to purchase multiple fuel bladders for varying capacity.
MSR Mini-Tank
One of the most convenient ways to carry extra fuel on a motorcycle is with a gas bag. These can be tied to a panner, soft saddlebag, or luggage. They also don’t require any additional hardware to mount. If you plan to do a lot of off-grid riding, however, you might need more fuel than a gas bag can carry. If this is the case, an auxiliary tank can provide that extra fuel.
Nomad Tanks
If you’re planning a long ride, carrying a spare tank of fuel is a great way to extend your range. Using a NOMAD Tank allows you to carry up to 3.4 litres of fuel, extending your riding range by 200km. Installing the tank is straightforward, as it uses the same front mounting point as the standard titanium tank. It also uses two supplied brackets and the stock CRF450R radiator shrouds.
Plastic Jerry Cans
If you want to carry extra fuel on a motorcycle, you’ll need to find a way to store it without compromising on your bike’s weight. Fuel cans are often made of plastic or metal, and are designed for fuel storage. They’re easy to mount, leak-proof, and can even be used with luggage carriers that have slots for fuel cans. Before you head out on your next motorcycle trip, consider how much fuel you’ll need in advance.
