You can get 1/4 Midget racing tanks and make your own mount for it.

Bend up some aluminum strapping to mount it to the frame and take it to a radiator shop and have them tig it on for a case of beer.

This is the tank I just bought.... If you ask nicley the guy will leave the engraving off of it. I think I have $140 in my side tank set up.

Sweet! With the engraving, you got that old-time steampunk nickel-plated look goin' on...

Still, getting a float/sender/gauge off a part-out appeals; don't know about wiring it up on a CT clone, though...too much draw? Battery killer?

Oh, the bottle for sure as the cheap & effective expedient. Still, the idea of extended capacity & range without a stop-n-fill always appeals.

The world is full of little fuel tanks, steel & plastic, for small engines - who knows what could be done? Fun to think about, anyhow...
