I don't have any experience with it but i know people have plumbed their oil tank into their fuel lines if they are running premix.

I'm going to try to make a gas tank to bolt onto my spree rear rack and see how that goes.
I also want more range than a lowly .66 gallons on the spree :smile:

this might be a bit over kill but i was thinking of doing it for the sheer * factor on peoples faces when they see it. Thinking about mounting it on the front panel or possibly on the rear grab bar of my spree. I plan on running the stock tank too and plan on plumbing this cell to the stock tank with a fuel pump to top it off.
