Carrying extra fuel in garage
Does anyone do this? At first I thought no way... Then it occured to me that the toys have fuel in them, and they are in the garage. I would of course run with the wall vents open.

I don't do this.
I put my extra fuel in the bed of my truck.
I carry 60 gallons in cans in the bed and still have plenty of room for wood etc.
If it all fits, great. If not it will go in the garage. I have good fuel jugs that seal tight, and will open the garage vents.
This is a pretty long stay for us. We will on shorter stays top 1000 miles on each of our two quads. At 25 MPG, that is 80 gallons right there. It will likely be more than that this time. Perhaps 120 gallons Then there is generator fuel. That can vary a lot depending on the weather. A minimum though is likely a gallon a day. So at least another 20 gallons. Triple that in bad weather. Total is likely 140 gallons in good weather 180 gallons in bad weather. The Momentum tanks hold 60 gallons. So worst case we would need 120 gallons more. I only have 85 gallons worth of jugs though. Hope the weather isn't bad the entire trip.
