Hey Dave!

On your QT-50, I saw you had an extra gas can. Was that just to "fill 'er up" or was it actually linked into the fuel system?

Thanks. As you know the qt-50 holds about .5 gallons. With my weight and the stereo, I'm getting crummy mileage. I expected that, but jeez, my tomos, was "fill 'er up" once a week, and unless you went on a whole day ride-- you were all set.

I do a few errands on the QT, and it's almost out of gas. I'm getting 40 mpg, perhaps a little less-- it's been cold stilll-- so I don't have accurate mileage numbers.

Yeah, my only gripe with the QT is that tiny gas tank. I've run out 3 times already, and the petcock "reserve" is clogged.

No pedals, either. Ouch.

I might get a plastic bottle, put a tiny 'vent' in it, and fill it up w/gas and mount it like a water bottle. Enough to get to a station at least. I ought to replace that petcock too.

Thanks,
