I have a 1 gallon tank (4.64L) on my 180cc and need something larger but can't find anything to preferably extend the current or to replace it all together...
I have scratched my old head for a while now thinking of a simple solution to no avail.
Dear fellows, any suggestions on mods you've seen or have made your self's?

If you can just put a secondary tank under the seat with a fuel valve

Now I just use a 2.5 gallon spun aluminum tank, but I have no fairings to consider. Damn, I always thought that was for the beer! Model airplane suppliers have various sizes and configurations of fuel tanks available. I don't know how large they get but some of those planes are huge with multiple engines. Custom hot rod and racing shops also have fuel tanks or can make them. |

If you can just put a secondary tank under the seat with a fuel valve I've already used half of that space for a... seat, a single comfortable one and the little space that is left I need as storage... |

It was your bike that made me searching for an alternative years ago, I've been looking for a 6 inch and say 20 inches long one with side mounted filler but to find one here in Europe is impossible, at least for a fair price... Thought I could strap it under the frame above the rear wheel after removing the stock one. A plastic one would do, but no luck. I would happily mount it as you have but I need the space behind me for luggage, tent and so on since I am "scootering" the whole of Europe... |

It wouldn't be the prettiest thing, but if you really want a bunch of extra fuel a tank like mine could be mounted in front of the scooter somewhere. The scooter version of a gasser.   |

What about something like an MSR fuel bottle? I've seen them in mounts on motorcycles before, you could also just chuck it in whatever storage compartment that you have. I have one mounted to one of my lawnmowers with a heavy duty bicycle water bottle cage to save the trip back to the garage when the lawn takes more than a tank full.
