Hi all,
I was reading through the FAQ's tonight and an idea popped into my head..

Has anyone ever fabricated an auxiliary/reserve tank for the 245's in the passenger side rear wheel well?

I imagine that it would not be too difficult to mount a tank like object in there, and since it is right above the fill tube for the real tank, one could also incorporate some kind of brass line with an on/off valve. Same idea as the reserve tanks you see on some old motorcycles... Give it it's own fill cap and cover it with the little floorboard cover, and your good to go for the long haul.
An extra (but immeasurable) benefit is that the weight of the spare (in the drivers side wheel well) would be balanced by the extra fuel.

Just my odd brain thinking up wierd ideas in the middle of the night! Has this ever been done (maybe in a rally setting?)
Maybe I'll put this on the 'several years down' to do list...
:)
Happy motoring!
