Thought I'd throw this out there for consideration. http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/ZBB993-1.html $10 from Cheaper than Dirt, 5 gallon, collapsible rubber water container with carry handles and spout.  While it is listed as used, I ordered 4 and they were all brand new still in plastic wrap. I got them for carrying water when I overland/camp, etc, but thought I'd give one of them a shot as a fuel container. I wouldn't fill it all the way up so there is room for the gas to expand and the little pushbutton spot would make for filling up with it real easy. Assuming the gasoline doesn't eat the rubber, I don't see why it would, fuel lines are made of rubber, it should work out ok. | ||

I'd test them carefully, they may have some coating on the inside that hydrocarbons may dissolve or destroy. I doubt that they are natural rubber and the description mentions "rubberized", gas lines, fuel cell liners, seats and other "rubber" materials used around fuels are typically Viton or some other hydrocarbon safe material. | ||

Looks like a nice solar hot camp shower to me! | ||

The label says "only for drinking water". As stated above, I would worry about the effect gasoline has on the plastic. | ||

Good idea. I built a few work boats over the years and always used bladder type fuel tanks. They conform to any space you put them in. My supplier is long gone, but if you can find one small enough to fit under the seat, it would be ideal. He had a guy that can make them custom fit with as many outlets as you want, then you can rig it up to the fuel system with its own petcock. |
