Just curious wether or not it is "safe" to store gas in a 2l pop bottle for a short period of time, ( a few hours max). Reason being, i live in BFNW and i plan to drive my scooter, ( yes, im only young) to a friends house wich is more than a gas tank away, (curse that small tank), and in BFNW, there are little to no gas pumps.

Instead use a real jerrycan straped to your rear rack. That way you will be legal and no one will take a drink from it.

Much safer and available at any store 2.5 gallon capacity. That should take your little scooter about anywhere.

Gas is flammable and explosive as all hell no matter WHAT you put it in.

REAL gas cans don't vent either and also expand when in sunlight.

I wouldn't hesitate to use a 20oz or liter plastic container in a pinch. Just be careful with it and if it builds up pressure, vent it (just not while your smoking out of your bong :D)

Let me guess, this is all to go see a chick isn't it :lol: I use to drive my BMX bike further than I even like to drive for a chance at some tail :D

I say no to the pop bottle. if you tip over... the cap brakes and you got a heck of a mess. It only takes a second for you to be on the phone and a visiting kid unstraps it and starts chugging. If you choose to, make sure its marked. you could mount whatever you choose and rig it to feed your current gas tank with a little fuel line
