Motorcycle Fuel Cans

How far can I travel on a full tank of gas? This question is asked by many vehicle owners, and it's quite common among motorcyclists. The tank capacity of modern bikes varies from 2 to 8 gallons approximately, and most of them can go less than a car on a full tank. Having a larger tank generally means you can cover more miles, and the leaders among motorcycles with the largest tank are touring and adventure bikes designed to ride far from civilization and gas stations.

Meanwhile, many MX and dirt bikes can hold just a couple of gallons, and the reason is obvious: minimizing the weight. But actually, all of these motorcycles can be used in the middle of nowhere, and having an additional fuel reservoir can be literally lifesaving in some situations. For owners of large touring bikes and cruisers, a fuel jug can also be a useful accessory; some of them are even specifically designed to fit Harley-Davidson hard saddlebags. If you're into traveling to remote places, off-roading, motocross, or other events requiring an additional source of gas, our online store has exactly what you need.

We offer a wide range of motorcycle fuel cans, jugs, and related accessories. As gasoline is a highly flammable and rather chemically aggressive liquid, reservoirs built for its storage or transportation have to meet numerous requirements to prevent fire and pollution. All the cans have to be made of an appropriate material, be sufficiently strong and well-sealed to prevent leaks and odors. The safest material is steel, and it's the only choice when it comes to long-term storage. However, most steel cans are somewhat bulky for a motorcycle. As for plastics, gas can gradually penetrate into most of them and cause damage. Besides, plastics tend to collect a static charge over time, which is also fraught with fire.

The most suitable material for transporting is high-density polyethylene (HDPE): it's lightweight and quite resistant to gasoline. We carry plenty of high-quality containers and jugs made from HDPE and complying with the necessary regulations. Strong and practical, they also offer great convenience and improved safety while fueling a bike. Many of them are fitted with special no-spill systems and valves making the process of fueling safe, easy, and clean. Some cans are also suitable for carrying engine oil and other fluids and available in different colors to avoid a mess.

Moreover, you can choose from various brackets to reliably mount a reservoir, measuring cups for mixing fuel with motor oil or additives, fuel hoses, funnels, jug vents, and other accessories. A special category includes plastic auxiliary fuel tanks that allow for tuning the engine and fuel system while the stock tank is taken off the motorcycle. They look like a bottle and come with the necessary hoses, while featuring a built-in return line, graduated scale, and breather. Suspended in a safe place near the bike, such a tank can be used for adjusting both carbureted and fuel-injected motors.
