Do you carry extra fuel for long tours?

[fjray]

Carried extra once but didn't need it. I used the fuel and gave the can away. I always get gas when I can rather than when I need it. Even if it's only been 50-100 miles.

From Whistler to Kamloops, only 4 that I know of. But, it's a great ride........

For the distance involved, that’s lots of fuel. I assume you’re going Whistler up to Lillooet, then either out to Lytton or from Lillooet up to Cache Creek, and then to Kamloops. Either way, plenty of gas. In any event, always fuel up when available, not only when needed.

Went to Alaska and didn’t carry gas, I live in the desert and don’t carry gas. I do make a point of knowing where I need to stop so I don’t run out.

Yep, but the 154 miles on the Extraterrestrial Highway between fuel is at best iffy on most bikes.
It is the only route that I carry extra, other than some off-roaring.

In rural NZ, particularly at night, you can go a very long way between open gas stations, hence the large aux tank mounted on the rack which more than doubles the range:


Even with this I still have a 1 litre primus bottle as a backup, though that's also for use with my camping stove.

Before fitting this my panniers used to look like this:
