  • Aux Fuel Tank

    Okay - Who can find the auxillary fuel tank in this picture? Kinda like a "Where's Waldo?" thing for big kids.

    Hmm, if that's a bike-mounted Camel Back reservoir behind the sissy bar, then the auxiliary tank must the red thing on the floor with a black funnel sticking out of it.

    Do I win the prize?

      Depends which fuel you are talking about, man or machine fuel?

            I never said good beer. If randy could just find a way to make it cold beer. "MMMMMM BEEEEEEER" in the word of the great Homer Simpson.

              Looks like it is in the frame below the body side cover? if that is it I am also guessing you have a fuel pump?

                    Somehow I figured you guys would get it pretty fast. It's the Coors mini keg. It's metric, 5 liters, so I thought it must be made specifically for a second use as an aux fuel tank. Who thought drinking beer wasn't enviromentally friendly? I'm just kidding, it's a little thin walled for me.

                    Coors isn't my favorite either, but we got a good deal on 4 of these for a little party we had for people at work, and I have an extra. It was more of a novelty thing for us, so the kind of beer didn't matter so much.

                    I was thinking about bringing it along to our gathering in Talihina, anybody interested? I figure there will be enough of us there on Saturday night that we can finish it off in short order and not get too rowdy. Will I get in trouble for transporting alcohol across state lines?

                      Beer is alcohol?

                        I was thinking there would be enough of us there FRIDAY night also?? Why wait, ya procrastinator! Just don't hit any bumps along the way and shake it up, OK? lol.

                          Instructions on the keg say to ice for 7 hours "It's worth it", according to the can. The 600ish mile trip we have planned to get there will most certainly have bumps and lots of turns, so I was thinking we'd give it a day to settle down, because foam is bad and all.

                            The real question is:

                            Is it 3.2% beer or the real stuff? If it's 3.2% should you only put 87 octane in it?
                            Ich habe dich nicht gefragt.

                              Oh no I don't think its 3.2, it was bought in Missouri. I don't think they have that law over there. So I should be able to put the good stuff in it!
