Can I fill this bottle several times with normal gasoline for my HD sportster 883?. I mean,as it is hermetic, nothing happen with the gasoline vapors?

I would say that normal gasoline will plug the fuel line or injector making it very difficult to use after several uses. Gasoline usually burns very dirty so I would recommend using white gas- it's not terribly expensive.
422465
Yes, you can do that. We have a lot of motorcycle customers that use them as spare gas containers when traveling long distances and want to carry extra fuel.
422466
If you are just intending to transport fuel, that should not be an issue. These bottles are designed specifically to carry liquid fuel and withstand the pressure necessary to operate a backpacking stove, so gasoline will not create a problem.

Hi Marco, These MSR fuel bottles are designed with petroleum based fuels in mind. They will be fine for carrying regular gasoline. However, alcohol based fuels will deteriorate the inside of the bottle.

The MSR Fuel bottle is completely hermetic (even to vapors) and is specifically designed to transport liquid fuels. This specific bottle has no leaks and the seals are in working condition. Thank you for your question.
422469
Sure...leave room for expansion. I would not hesitate. I keep mine full of white gas year round in the bed of my truck with no issues. These bottles are great.
422470
Yes, that will work just fine with the bottles. There are a couple of MSR stove model types that allow for the use of gasoline, though they gunk of the stoves a bit. So they are made to be able to use a couple of different fuel types, diesel as well. Hope that helps.

Yes you have to mix the oil with the gas. If you don't you will burn up the motor. I use 87.

50:1 Says so right on the saw. Have had better luck with small engines since began using pure gasoline. (Sans cane of corn juice) Look about, you can probably find a filling station that sells it. Usually 89 octane. Mixing only a qt. at a time works for me...

Yes, this bottle can store unleaded gasoline. However you should avoid any gasoline with ethanol added, especially if stored for extended periods of time, as the ethanol will corrode and pit the aluminum bottle.

yes you can and you can also use methanol...go to your local auto parts store and by heat the gas treatment the one in the yellow plastic bottle that's the one that I use and it works great I do not like the one that comes in the red bottlealso when you go camping you can take that bottle with you and always have it

no, you don't have to add oil to this fuel. runs my high power engines very well. it's the % of nitro that mst be consitter

No you cannot. First, federal law prohibits the storage of fuel in anything other that the red gasoline containers. Second, there is no ventilation on the bottle so fumes would accumulate and could cause a dangerous explosive result.

I thought to merely click on "I don't know," but that seemed a little too dismissive. The fact is, the jury is out--completely out as far as I am concerned--over whether ethane does damage to an engine, how much damage occurs if it does do damage at all, and then there are other problems it may cause--primarily in emissions. I know many race car drivers, and they are big believers in ethane, mixed in at very small doses, often with a very small dose of distilled water, and all this assumes that the engine is operating at a higher temperature than most engines on the road do. My preference is to stay away from ethane, if possible. (Often you don't know if it is mixed in with the gas you buy or not.) Whether MMO would help with ethane damage, I truly don't know. I suspect it would because of its lubricating properties, but I'm not sure. If you call the factory, I suspect they will just tell you it would since they kind of put themselves in the role of cheerleader for their product. So this is the best I can do. Maybe someone with more knowledge of chemistry than me could give a better opinion, although I have read arguments and counterarguments by chemical engineers and they don't agree with each other. As far as I'm concerned, it's still very much in the experimental stage. I suspect in 10 years either it will be getting used a whole lot more, or it will have disappeared from our gasoline entirely.

hi Virginia the bottle on the pump has no markings as far as recyclable diamond shaped markings it cannot be used with gasoline or any flammable liquids mainly due to it being pressurized most likely, if you have any questions about how it works you can call them at 1 800 225 2224. You can use it quite nicely to remove warm oil from engines for oil change it works perfectly for jet skis especially four strokes. I hope that helps you

Here's what I found online -I've got some tri-flow bike chain oil with PTFE in it and i'm wondering if i can use it. The tri-flow is petroleum based from what i understand. It should eventually wear down the o rings i think. I know Tippmann recommends Hoppe's #9 and i can't find anything on it in terms of composition. Seems like both products contain "Heavy Naphthenic Petroleum Oil". Hoppe's is >85% by volume whereas tri-flow only is 10%. From what i'm reading tri-flow is basically liquid teflon. It's a dry lube but they list air power tools as one of tri-flow's possible uses. So theoretically it should be ok for my gun. I found the MSDS for both products.

I use Accelerator in my 70 Nova small block with high compression heads. I mix 16 oz to 9 gallons of 93 octane pump gas which yields an octane level just over 100. I stopped buying pump 100 octane racing fuel, which is much more expensive when cost averaging the blend. My car runs MUCH better on the blend. My car is only driven to cruises and shows averaging about 700 miles per yerr. I check plugs annually and yes I have slight orange deposits.......no biggie and it should be expected and is harmless.

watch the type of gas you use I've had no problem with mine I get my fuel from the marina because of no alcohol in the fuel it will gum up the carb

NO,no,no,no, and no..... I believe Mr.Thomas Samarati meant well when he answered this Q but he is wrong. Trust me, use unleaded 89 octane gas with two cycle oil with the right mixture, THAT'S IT!! I am sorry to see wrong Info are pass around on the net and will be back to help/explain why in bit. My Owner's manual specifically says to use 89 Octane with two cycle oil.
1380916
I would not. This is a lube additive, not fuel additive. May mess up your injector or reeds. Use only a HIGH quality 2 cycle oil for your engine. Trust me, cheep 2 cycle oil results in big problems later.

It clearly states in the manual that it is not to be used with gasoline because there is not enough oil in gas to lubricate the pump. I only pumped diesel. I have no idea what would happen if I tried to pump gasoline.

You can,and it should remain reasonably safe. But I would get a normal gas can as its safer and can help prevent dangerous leaks. Its also safer to pour. Though if you want to put gasoline inside make sure its tightly sealed and take care not to damage the bottle. aluminum doesn't give Sparks either.

Yes, I see no reason why it would not be applicable to motorcycles. Only exception could be some German bikes due to the use of a different type of antifreeze but otherwise go right ahead reduce use to under a half bottle since motorcycle system capacities are much lower than a car. This stuff definitely works great though!!!
