Ideas for more fuel
Hey guys and gals. I'm all setup for a trip next week on my fat bob. Tent, rain gear and extra clothes are packed. I'm having trouble deciding what to do for fuel though as there's a stretch with no fuel stations along my route that's 404 kms long. I filled my bike as much as possible a few days ago and tested it out to see my range. I got 312 kms out of a tank. I was thinking about a 1.5 litre bottle but I'm unsure if that will get me the rest of that distance. Plus, I can't walk into a store here and buy the fuel bottle. It would have to be ordered and that would take 2 weeks to get here. So I'm looking for ideas for now as what to do short of strapping a 5 litre gas can to my back pack. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Rotopax, stack 2 of them on your rack and pack your luggage on top. Have a great ride to Goose Bay, I did it in 2017 before the road was paved. Rode a KLR with 6 gallon tank, carried extra fuel but didn’t need it.

If should be a great ride. I'm heading to lab city then on down 389 and quebec. I've read it's pretty rough road on the 389 though.

Yes that's the problem I have. If I ordered them today they would arrive the week after next. I should add that I am in newfoundland.

Take your pick, these flexal bags are the bomb. ADV peeps use them heavily in remote and 3 world riding.

I'm not sure what the converons would be, but 1 gallon of gas is about 6 pounds.
One liter of gasoline weighs between 0.71 and 0.78 kilograms.
