Auxiliary Fuel Tank

I couldn't bear to buy one, so I drilled a hole in the bottom of an aluminum water bottle and JB Weld-ed to it a 1/4" nipple attached to a ball valve and a barbed adaptor. Then I drilled a couple of small breather holes in the cap. A few feet of 1/4" fuel line hose and a barbed tee, and Bob's your uncle.

Good job. Just a note of caution. Try to keep the aux tank as close to the original height above the carbs as the original tank. The higher you raise it the more fuel pressure will increase.

And don't mix it up with your water bottle!

Yike, great comment. I bet you’d only do it once!
