how to store extra gas for the pcx?

[eggman]

sorry for dumb question but will coke bottle work?

[homie]

Do not put fuel under the seat please... KABOOM!
That would be a good way to open a locked seat without a key... a whole other topic.

I once road with a fuel container strapped on the passenger seat but thought better of it after. Best to refuel every 200 miles and not blow up.

man my pcs only goes 120 miles b4 the last line on fuel gauge starts to blink

[ScooteringAbout]

Backbox, and a proper petrol gallon gas canister. Just don't leave it locked in the backbox in hot conditions?

[relic]

too many horror stories from persons I know and have known of the dangers of even small amounts of gasoline
don't do it

Fuel has a sneaky way of getting away from you. I was draining my hog to install new lifters, rods and rocker arms today and the drain plug fell into the funnel. Funnel promptly clogs and quickly overflows down and over a battery tender lead. That should have been all for me but I have Jesus and this has been the luckiest couple weeks of MY LIFE so I don't even ride anymore Anyhow, lesson is disconnect the dang battery before you do anything with fuel... don't be like me today.

Good to hear you had luck on your side homie
sure didn't want to hear you were in a burn unit
again please be care full with gasoline
It can get on you as fast as it as getting away from you

Where are you in the civilized world that you need to carry extra gas? Going across death Valley? I just don't see this is necessary.......

Not ideal but you'd be fine unless there was a spark. You could even snokepparently although I wouldn't risk it


Petrol, especially the vapour, is really dangerous for something we are so familiar with.

From a full tank? My 2016 can reach 250 miles (UK) before I completely ran out of gas. Who rides like this without stopping for gas or to eat/rest?

[gn2]

Remember that the facelift version has a far bigger tank.
120 miles to a flashing last bar on the gauge is quite normal for a first generation PCX if ridden hard.

Thanks for all the great advise.

It's not unheard of if done right

An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman were out fishing in a boat on a lake together and doing very well.
'This is a terrific spot for fishing,' said the Englishman. 'How will we know where this spot is next time?'
'I've thought of that,' said The Scotsman, 'I've just put a mark on the side of the boat.'
'You idiot,' said the Irishman, 'how do you know we will get this boat the next time?'

I created a holder behind me out of Styrofoam. It acts as a back rest for me and a holder for my small gas container. When we are riding in the back country areas, exploring the country roads, it is good to have extra gas, especially when you have other ideas here the gas stations are.

Look into the fuel storage canisters used for the back packing gas stoves. You'll find them where back packing equipment is sold. They're aluminum and hold about a pint of fuel. I've used them back packing without any problems at all. They don't leak either.

this plastik bottles of 1 liter is good, its give nothing problems with heat from the engine, and when you close the 1 liter oilbottle fast, its give nothing problems.
