Leak proof Gas can

[Badazzspydee]

Okay everyone, I suck at using the search feature. That being said, I need the info on the gas container for the right side bag (who what where to buy)

Thanks!!!

[NancysToy]

I use REDA cans...in the left side bag. Got mine from ESI.

Why would there be a preference for one side or the other?

Nothing wrong with that one but home depot sells almost the same one, But one difference the nozzle stores inside the can
so there's more room in your bags, Also i put 1 1/2 gal in it. I've been using it for 3+ years no leak or smell, even sitting on it's side. The manufacturer's name is SCEPTAR.

:bowdown:Correction, that's the same can i have. Can't see the top in the picture i thought it was the Wall Mart one.:bowdown:

[harrypottar]

The REDA gas can's are the way to go, there under $30 but designed to push to the end of saddle bags, I carry one in my Goldwing and will when I get my Spyder.

Its the vapor you have to be carful of, it can build up in the saddle bags and stink, these are 100% vapor proof. Small but enough to get you or a fellow stranded motorcyclist out of trouble.

The one I posted is $9.99

I purchased one from ESI last summer but it reeked of fuel the few times I brought it with me. Think there is such a thing as a defective one?

Firefly once posted that he got a bad one also. :dontknow:

They had some problems. I think there were some design changes. Contact the manufacturer, I think they will replace the can or defective parts.

Yes...there was a line that had improper fitting...I sent my back for another...no issues now...

It's REDA or nothing...nothing is as secure as the REDA and you don't want gas fumes building up in your bags...

To all those out there with Walmart cans...come on...spend the money and get the safe product...

[larrymz3]

I've read a lot of folks on the HD forum I frequent complain that the spout leaks and is difficult to pour without leaking.

Many recommend practicing with the can filled with water until you are familiar with it's pouring.

It is difficult to pour, and can leak onto your hands....as are most brands of safety spouts nowadays. Government regulations... I carry a couple of pairs of nitrile gloves with the REDA cans for that reason.

I reamed out the spout [spring and green tab] on my non reda can, Now the gas pores right into my gas tank no leaks or fuss.

My question how Maney do you that carry the extra can of gas, has had to use it. Even in Texas I have not experience a ride where I felt I,need to carry extra can of gas, just my 2 cents worth :yes:

I've not used mine yet, although I do carry my Reda cans (either 2 or 4) when on long trips. What they do for me is to give me piece of mind so I don't worry about it. That is sufficient reason for me to carry extra gas.

[Bob Denman]

:agree: It's better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. :shocked:

:agree: with Mark... I had the same plane of thought as you did Texasride... until coming back from St. Louis to Memphis I ran out of gas TWICE!!!:yikes: Reda can on it's way!:coffee:

[Max LTD]

My extra fuel solution is with a RotoPax gas can. I have been using the RotoPax can for years riding my ATV and NO leaks. I really like my config with the rack, works very well.

I went with these and have had to use them on a trip. No leaks and no smell. They are in my trailer right now. :doorag:

I have always carried one for extra security if riding back home over night and not all gas stations are 24 hours. Although I have never used it myself, I have helped other stranded motorists a couple of times.

Knowing i have a extra gal and half in the back makes the low light less worry some, Especially coming home late at night. Out here after 9 or so very few station's if any are open. A few times i had to go out late and the gage was reading a little low,So i would just put the extra thank in the back then just get gas the next day when the stations are open.

:dontknow:

The right side bag is large enough to hold a full face helmet when you stop. The left side is not. So when we stop to eat or whatever, the wife's helmet goes in the right side saddle bag and mine goes in the frunk. The 2 REDA cans in the left side saddle bag lets me explore unfamiliar roads without worrying if there is a gas station somewhere down the road.

Max LTD, where did you get that fine looking rack?

Somebody in here has a Silver RT with a beautiful rear rack... Gadget's are real nice too, but these are over -the-top gorgeous! I know that this is not a helpful description, but any ideas out there of who it might be?? :dontknow:
