Interesting gas tanks in these links could be adapted to our rack-rigs...particularly the version that sits directly behind the seat. There are a number of threads on the board concerning how to connect etc.

Just click around to see the four models that might be available for long distance riders.

Hive, any idea how high the diaphram on a rack-mount will lift the fuel?
I added the larger tank sold by Staton to my friction kit. I initially plumbed it through the original tank. After the original tank sprung a leak, I threw it away, and just use the larger one. It gives me plenty of range for now.

Fuel Pressure

Alaska, I honestly have no clue...in fact, the need never entered my mind. Will search around a bit and see.

for reference, my tanaka33 will draw thru a 3" line and a "lift" of 14".

one way to make use of an extra tank: http://www.motoredbikes.com/showthread.php?t=7821

Augie, I had a system like the one you describe for a while. My feeling now is: Why not just have one tank that is big enough. To heck with worrying about sealing the original tank's cap etc.
Thanks for showing us some more options Hive.
