Topic: Carrying Extra Gas

[RBduffer]

I have my money on a boat tank, they have 6 and 12 gal.  I wish I could come to the mod day, but I get 4 days in the back country of Death Valley instead.

Ding, ding, ding!  We have a winner

They can be found cheaply at dock swap meets or CL.  I got a 12 gal. outboard gas tank with gauge and quick disconnect hose and siphon bulb.  I can just drop the hose down from the roof rack to the filler, squeeze 3 or4 times on the bulb and let it flow.  All for 50 bucks.  The low profile tank comes with molded indentations for easy strapping.  I will rarely fill it all the way up, but it's only 20"X 14"X 13" high.

So...do you fill it while it's on your roof?

It would be quicker to re-task a satellite to get you the image.

...or this...^^

According to the TV shows now, it only takes a hacker 5-10 key strokes to take over a Chinese Satellite and have it pointing at his Xterra.  Perhaps someone else can get an image this weekend and post.

That's brilliant Randy. I was looking at something like this before Steve came to the rescue.

something like this could be mounted in the little cubby under the rear floor, some cutting may be needed

Just an F.Y.I, I was filling a Jerry can last night at Costco and they have a sticker on the pump stating that CA law limits filling external gas cans to 6 gal.  I doubt anyone would stop anyone from filling something bigger but I just noticed it.  The larger marine tank of course would have to be filled on the roof so easy access with the pump handle would be somewhat important.

I laughed out loud (loled?) Jordan, but you F***ers are right!

  Well when you figure out how to do that please let me know so I can show these kids once and for all you can teach an old dog new tricks! I do have a question, what's a "loled"? ? ?
