rotopax fuel pack

I keep carrying around a 2.5 gallon gas can and have never needed it. it takes up alot of space in the bed and its been pretty useless so far.that being said i wouldnt want to go without "some" fuel for the just in case. looking at the rotopax fuel pack ($49.95) and the RZR rotopax fuel pack mount ($39.95). the fuel pack is only "ONE gallon". is one gallon enough? it sure as hecks looks alot safer than carrying around a bungy corded 2.5 gallon sears gas can. plus, frees up alot of space.

If I had a 2011 or newer I wouldnt worry about carry gas. I know they get a lot better gas mileage than my 2010 S. I get around 70 miles per tank. I heard the new ones get over a 100 a tank. It's not that often you ride that many miles in a day.

That's a reason I bought the commander. Run hard all day and only burn half the fuel. When my rzr goes out I always bring extra fuel.

It never a bad idea to have extra fuel.

you are probably right steve, but im anal. i carry everything. gas, tools (which i most likely couldnt figure out what to do with them) spare tire, plugs, etc. my luck, i'll need it the first time i go without it or someone else would.

Drafting saves fuel , polaris usually lead ...

Thats because the commander holds 10 gal and the rzr holds 7 gal......

Jet , as soon as you don't carry fuel you will need it ....

I agree...ditch the extra gas can and don't buy a fuel pack.....

Drive it and if you feel you need it then buy it. If you think you never will need it then dont buy it.

Has anyone used the rotopax system?

I have never used them but have seen them on other ATV's....it's a good idea...but kind of pricey....

Organized rides probably will either not empty your tank or include a fuel stop. Riding with new friends with other SXS brands and longer rides warrants extra fuel. I've used my 2-1/2 gal spare several times.

President? Heck, I'm just hoping Tbone dont hit the E ject button on me.

Jet, I seen one of those hanging off the back of Gunpilots XP. It looks real nice. I hate to hear they only hold one gallon. Seems like alot of money to only be able to carry 1 extra gallon. I have a 5 gallon can usually half full strapped in the back, and I get sick of it being there. My fuel light comes on at somewhere around 50-55 miles. I think it would run out before I hit 70.

I'm with you hump. 1 gallon for $90 or two gallons using two kits is $180. Lots of money but a real clean set up.

Maybe check out the Kolpin Jr. fuel pack......They hold 1 1/2 gallon. They have them listed for 51.99 with mount on there site.

42.77 on Amazon......

Nice find Kevin. That may be the one Gunpilot has. Looks like it.

I like it. 1.5 gallon sounds good and I can pitch that 2.5 and all the space it takes up. Thanks.

Looks great --- I saw GUNPILOTS as well. Nice set up.

Maybe Gunpilot will show pics of how he mounted it
