extra fuel tank in tray? in backpack?

[Ericfox]

I wanna carry an extra 2.5 gallon tank with me... it fits nice in the tray and I can strap it down, but I'm worried about the law...

I can turf it to match my tray and strap it down, or I could just put it in a backpack and strap that in the tray or just carry it on my back....

Is there a way that would be legal?

IMHO you should go back to a OEM tank.

What makes it illegal to carry? Sitdown riders strap tanks on all the time.

Dude just make a tank out of your handlepole if you are that hard up.

Get an old hull and turn it into a water trailer.
I'll be doing that as soon as it cools down a bit.

I can't think of a reason it would be illegal. If it was a vented can then I can see a problem but a sealed can what would be the big deal. Like Darin said there are couches doing it all the time with 2 - 6 gallon cans strapped on the rear.

aight... I will just keep strapping it to my tray... I will call the ODNR on Monday just to make sure there is not something wrong with it.... people have just told me that having a tank in your tray could get you in trouble, but maybe they are just trying to be on the safe side....

Matt, I might change back to the stock tank too... its something I have to think about.... it would be nice to have the extra ride time... I would make my oem tank into an internal fuel fill if I do...

i have always wanted too but never had the time...

i want to put my fire ext in the lathe and part off the bottom, then turn some threads in the ID with a little land and make a new bottom with threads and an O-ring and store extra fuel in it! then i kill two birds with one stone!

ahhhh, one of these days ill get around to it!

Then you could pressurize it and make a hose that attaches to the exit. Then all you have to do it place the hose in the tank and pull the trigger and Wamo 32oz of fuel.

If your talking about riding around with the gas in your tray the whole time that sounds foolish to me but if your just trasnporting it to your ride spot it shouldn't be a problem .
