 +====== Spare Fuel Tanks / Containers ======
 +You can buy a pair of 1.5 liter camping gas bottles that you can fit in the saddlebags when on a road trip to give a little insurance against running dry. ((ericfreeman of the XLFORUM https://​www.xlforum.net/​forum/​sportster-motorcycle-forum/​sportster-motorcycle-general-discussion-and-problems/​75039-solved-my-spare-gas-storage-issue?​t=527546)) \\
 +Only problem with the bottles is the small neck size that makes filling from a gas pump difficult and messy. \\

 +Below is a 1975 Honda CT90 auxiliary gas tank. ((ericfreeman of the XLFORUM https://​www.xlforum.net/​forum/​sportster-motorcycle-forum/​sportster-motorcycle-general-discussion-and-problems/​75039-solved-my-spare-gas-storage-issue?​t=527546)) \\\\
 +It holds 2.3 liters (.6 gallons), has a nice large opening for filling from a pump. \\
 +It also has a flexible hose and cap for emptying the gas into the bike's tank. \\
 +It's About the size of a canteen and fully designed for gas storage. \\
 +These tanks can command a hefty price on Ebay due to their rarity in good condition. \\
 +However, if you know someone who has an old CT90 in their shed, maybe you could borrow/buy the little gas tanks. \\

 +====== Petcock (Fuel Outlet) ======
 +When removing a factory vacuum operated petcock and swapping to a non-vacuum one, run a new (fresh) vacuum line from the carburetor to the Voes or Map Sensor (respective to year model) and discard the "​tee"​ fitting. It will be cleaner to not use the "​T"​. ((V of the XLFORUM https://​www.xlforum.net/​forum/​sportster-motorcycle-forum/​sportster-motorcycle-electrical/​sportster-motorcycle-electrical-and-ignition/​163491-removing-voes?​t=1757206))
