I hadn't seen one of these adapters before - looks like it would come in
real handy if you want to run your old engine (or outboard) from a jerry can

That's cool. I start and test run engines in antique and/or racing vehicles
long before the vehicle is to be put into use, and don't want to put fuel in
the clean tank
I use a one gallon paint thinner can with a copper tube outlet soldered into
the base as a temp fuel tank.

This one test was a little dangerous, only a quick ride to check the
transmission function while the paint was drying on the real fuel tank.

I've found a common 2-liter soda bottle works as a small gas
tank; put hose adapter in lid and turn upside down

Jerry Cans in general are very interesting, they were considered an
important secret before WWII and have lots of little things about them you
never considered (3 handles?) There is an article he

I always carry a jerry can with gas in my truck.

I also have 8 jerry cans full of diesel fuel (different color paint)
in my yard for the generator.

I think someone emailed that photo to me last week - the caption said
something like "redneck suicide bomber"

Pretty cool bike - is that a '67 Tiger?
