yes, orange paint.


come to think of it, the idea of siphoning from the cans directly into the tank is problematic, especially if you get gas from some backwoods place, in that you could suck dirt from the cans and dump it directly in the tank. I'll see if I can put an inline filter in the siphon hose...
 
well, I had to get a can full of gas from a backcountry barrel recently in Baja cuz I was concerned about not making it back to a main station. Problem with that is you have no idea what it is. For all I know it could have been leaded gas that would have poisoned my cats. Could have had sand or whatnot in it too. I didn't use it and kept it separate and used it for my lawnmower but the risk is there.

(I'll skip the story about how the 5 gallons of (very expensive) gasolina didn't quite fill my 5 gals can to the level line... :rolleyes: )

Definitely good to be carefull with the backwoods Pemex as the in town stuff is questionable in and of itself. Those same "stations" can also be a real lifesaver. All this talk makes me want a longranger aux tank like Mangler. :crybaby:

....but that's another project Mo!
 
Yeah, not sure when I will actually have the money let alone the time to pull that one off.

It will be awhile for me also, I will keep the idea of a group buy open and throw it out again sometime next year.
 
an advantage of the long range tank for Baja adventurers is that it's a bit more discrete than the cans on the roof....
 
There's a group buy going? Can't do it this year either, but curious as to details, pricing, etc.
