Gas Tank Questions

[rjb/AKA Bob Barram]

You can get them at sports stores also, they are called fuel cells.

In lieu of the bottles I carry a siphon hose

I carry a siphon hose in case I have to refill the bottles.  They would be next to impossible to fill from the service station pumps.

My concern with carrying a hose alone is getting enough elevation difference between tanks (if filling tank to tank) to maintain a siphon.  BTW, I bought a siphon hose with a squeeze bulb.  My days of mouth starting the siphon and then burping gas fumes hours later are long gone.

I think....mine has a check valve where you can actually pump the gas into another tank.

Well as somebody else has already mentioned, my gas tank is bigger than my bladder anyway. Still, I can find places to empty the bladder where there isn't necessarily gas.
Ya know, I wonder if I just drank gas, then ran a catheter to the gas tank if I'd maintain enough octane to keep the engine running. Sort a solve two problems at once.

Mine's cheap, no check valve.  I have to put my finger on the end of the hose at the proper time while filling the bulb and hose.  It's all siphon after that.

I keep a hose that will fit my petcock.
