Gas tank options

[shawnshank]

I'm looking for suggestions for an alternative gas tank. I don't care for the one that comes with the kits most people are using (small black teardrop). Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Possibly something that can be mounted on a rear rack.
I saw in the image gallery that someone has what looks like an oil can under their seat and I sent them a Pm but haven't heard back.
Images would be helpful.

That's pretty cool. What do you have there?

k - guess I'll toss mine in for something different.
I couldn't stand the look of the tear drop tank. To me, it just ruined the entire look of the bike. So with a little creative ingenuity, I came up with this.

lawn mower gas tank
5.99 walmart beverage container w/ expandable top.
7.99 for the pepcock valve.

pic's pretty much say it all.

Like I said, something different - but I can store all my tools and take my lunch to work with me without any problems

some pics were in the build process. last pic is current.

Curious to see what you wind up doing.

Carrot...

Very slick thinking on your part with hiding the lawnmower tank inside of that bag!

Simple, creative, and if on a long ride, the ability of running two side by side tanks as well!

were can you buy a barrel tank on the web?

Pirate Cycles sells the barrel type. If they are in stock. Expensive, $250 dollars. I forget who it is, but somebody on this site offered to make me one for around $150 dollars and it was constucted better. I'll see if I can find his e-mails in the trash.
