Re: How many gallons of fuel does a stock tank hold?

We finally found a gas station on the east side of the park heading downhill (thankfully) on highway 410. Our mileage was not good because we were carrying the cabover camper.

An interesting side note. We also had a 175 cc Honda along. On a side trip to Bumping Lake it also needed gas. We bought it at general store. The "pump" was the old style with a glass cylinder at the top. We hand pumped a gallon into the cylinder then drained it into the bike. When I asked the lady in the store if they had a pay phone, she said, "You're in the country now son" and directed us to the gas station 20 miles away where we'd gassed up the truck. I sure would like to have that gas pump!! I'd never seen one and never saw another.
