Yep, a woman ain't worth THAT. 8O You can rent one pretty cheap in Nuevo Laredo, but I wouldn't go down there anymore way they're shootin' the place up with RPGs and grenades now days. Gotta be safer places to get a cheap thrill, eh?

Nope not at all. I agree, unfortunately he wouldn't listen to reason.

On another note I think I may have figured another inexpensive solution to some auxillary fuel? I found this

yesterday, left by a kind litter bug. I rinsed it out and plan to fill (not completely) it with gas and see how well it does without leaking. The cap tightens pretty good. I figure if it passes for around $2 a piece I would get a couple to carry along. This one holds 18oz. I'll keep ya posted...

Laughs... Is that thier slogan? I've never heard of it until yesterday? I did happen to find out that the store across the street sells them. I bought three more (but haven't drank any yet) tonight. $1.09 plus tax a piece.
Four bottles x 16oz. (18oz. bottle with room for expansion) = about two quarts (1/2 gallon). Still have to try them out for being leak proof. Keep ya posted...

I was using my LS200 as a pack mule down at my place again and somehow cracked the plastic faux tank that covers the real tank. I've started putting thought to a real gas tank again.

Okay guys I have a comment followed by a question. I searched the web and found info that states that my 2007 gy-5 has a 10.5 litre/2.77 gallon fuel capacity, 2.3 litres/.608 gal of which is supposed to be a reserve. Is this info correct and if not, can someone clarify?

thanks

If it really holds that much I'd be surprised. The bigger of the two tanks that I have holds 1.8 gallons the other 1.6. Can't say about the reserve since I run on reserve all the time and simply watch the odometer.

2.77 gal with .6 as reserve sounds about right. on my 06 gy-5 i usally put about 2 gals in at a fill up when not on reserve. once i was on reserve and it took 2.5 gals.

katoranger · 02-21-2008, 11:12 AM

My gy2 has the smaller tank and I usuall y put about 1.5 gal at a fill in.

I have a 91 DR250 tank sitting on the workbench awaiting fitment. The DR tank is about 3 gallons.

Wow! Are these metal too? This would be a nice upgrade, since I go about 115miles between fill-ups.

driller · 02-21-2008, 03:55 PM

No, but they are a really heavy plastic. (at least 3/16)

katoranger · 02-21-2008, 03:56 PM

I have a metal tank on the gy2. I also go about 115 miles on a tank.
