extra fuel

[Vumad]

Do any of you have couchers carry fuel for you under the seat? I wasn't sure if there'd be a problem with the fuel bouncing arround as much as it would w/o being properly vented like a gas tank is. I wanted to just toss a 2 gallon can or 2 under the seats for when these guys want to take some longer rides somewhere. What should I use?

Basically my point is you don't want any additional fumes wafting around down in the engine compartment above and beyond wahts already there.

Maybe you can take a super siphon on the couch and use the fuel from the existing tank on it to get the two gallons for the other boats?

The couchers have fuel injection, I use premix.

I was thinking I could maybe put the fuel tank from the XISS in the X2? I'd rather have a large tank half full than a small tank that runs out. I don't think it would fit?

what kind of couches are we talking about?

i wouldnt do it with a raider, but i would with a 4-tec.

id say that if you can put it under the front cowling, and its a seperate "bucket", youll be okay.... but putting a can under a seat next to the engine.... not so much.....

one XL700, one Seadoo XP 787 and another seadoo 3-seater. The XP might be selling his XP for a X2, which solves my problem.
