Gravity fed auxiliary gas tank

[@LifeExplosion]

yeah love it bro. I made a similar gravity fed bottle to replace my rusty fuel tank in my little two stroke scooter. Works awesome

[@Truevineservice]

I’m so glad I don’t have to transfer SH. My pool store fills my tank direct from their 14000 gal holding tank behind the store. I love your set up. I modified my setup after yours last year. Your channel has been my favorite and invaluable to Me. Thanks Joe for all you do on your channel!

[@powerfulimprovements]

Very happy you’ve found some value in it! ✌🏼❤️

[@ManuelGutierrez-be1ci]

That gives me a good idea to try on my truck so I can get it home. Thank you for the great idea.

You bet!

[@duartepaintinghandymanservices]

That's a pretty simple and cheap way to go, great job. Keep it simple

[@powerfulimprovements]

It has worked out great for me this season. I hope to improve upon it a little bit over the winter for next season. Plumb it a little better maybe get a tank with a gauge

[@JettRiver]

Really appreciate the video. I'm doing the same modification to a water pump that I need to run overnight.

I can definitely use this same idea for other things that are gas powered that don't have a fuel tank or to add a second tank.

[@commandcleanpressurewashin8386]

if you want your downstream to last long get a small bucket and every time you are done using it put it in for a day and all you quick connects and the down stream will work every time you go use it . love the videos keep it up

[@powerfulimprovements]

Right on. Last year I was just throwing it in my buffer tank. But can’t reach all the way back there this year so small bucket would be a great idea

[@allproexteriorservicesllc5338]

Joe, great job. That is the one thing I don't like about my GX390 is fueling it up often. I would recommend maybe putting a rubber hose around the fuel line where it is rubbing on the skid (9:03). It could help prevent a leak caused by the vibration. Always great content brother!

Great idea Herb! Prototype

[@powerfulimprovements]

Thank you

[@ridethepace6005]

Joe, I recently started having trouble with my machine running off the auxiliary tank with the fuel petcock and the inline filter. The machine would run sometimes, other times not. Occasionally it would run for an hour or so then quit. I figured out that the integrated filter on the petcock was just too restrictive, even though it was clean when I checked it. I ordered a couple more and cut off the filter. I still have my inkine filter in place. Haven't had any issues since.

[@DialedInAutoDetailing]

Get a 5 gallon water tank big blue or white ones and do the same thing to it.

[@mikeg7843]

I’ve see where you can also drill a hole in the top of the can and insert a tire valve stem with the core removed for a vent. So that way at least you can screw the cap on and then have zero chance for spillage. Cool set up though. Givin me ideas 😂

[@powerfulimprovements]

Great idea

[@themulesheriff3009]

I put the tire stem valves in all my 5 gallon gas cans so they pour better due to venting. Install the cap no leaks. I use the metal truck tire stem that has the rubber washers and nuts. The chrome ones. Works great

[@MrBoatside]

[@TheGrandtheftautops3]

This is a nice project, now I have a question. Could this be done to incorporate a stock gas tank? (I.E. 5-20 gallon stowed in truck with line feeding the stock gas tank through the cars body?)

I don’t see why not

[@unknown-me6hu]

Just use a Y fule splitter. That why you can connect the fuel line for both tanks and have both of them connect to the carburetor. That's what I did.
