Default Itz a Gas Can

http://www.itzagascan.com/

This is pretty neat; not that I'd know where to put it on my bike, but it seems a little more handy than the regular containers. Might be kinda handy...

I have a dunkin donuts box-o-joe plastic liner in my travel tool kit. Gas stations might give you some shit for filling it up with gas (prolly not much more than the collapsable box). It was cheap (free), and will hold gas a few days before the plastic stars to break down

I've never ran out on the DRZ.... or any bike.... but I have had to lay the DRZ on it's side about 10 or so times to get that unuseable fuel to the petcock's side of the tank... giving me another 10-15 miles...

honestly never ran out in any vehicle... though I have had my truck die as I coasted into a gas station...

Me either. I've had the truck very low before- to the point that it sputtered pulling away from a stop. The little remaining fuel all sloshed away from the pickup for the pump.

I've had to push the bike the last few dozen yards to a gas pump before, and sputtered my way to the pumps more than a few times. Never seem to run out of gas in a car that has a working gas guage though.

I ran out on my vehicle. I found out E is before E.
