I was just wondering if it would be possible to make an extra fuel cell and strap it to the rack of a 3 wheeler. Does a 3-wheeler "suck" gass or is it all gravity? Would it be possible to "Y" the line and hook the fuel cell to it and have a valve you could open when your tank runs out. I was just wondering, cause a river here dries up every summer and i was thinking about taking a trip up it and camp out and stuff. Tell me if you guys think it will work.

most of them are all gravity fed except the ones that have tanks under the seat like tri-z 250 they have a vacume driven feul pump.

So do you think it would work or is it a dumb idea?

if you could rig it in a way that the feul cell is above the carb then it will work. but i personaly wouldnt wast my time doing it. just bring extra gas with you

Its a good idea, but I just strap on a 2.5 or 5 gallon jug. I can fill up when needed.

I was just wanting to be lazy and have something differen't at the same time, i kinda need a reason to have a backrest on my 200 too, lol. I figure stick the fuel cell on there and liquid nail a cushion to it, i'd be set then.
ACERBIS used to offer an auxilary fuel tank for dirbikes.... it was a front number plate that was fuel tank! :D
Maybe you could try them or find one somewhere.
