Would you..
...carry 4 or 5 gallons of gasoline in a Berg long run fuel tank (boat gas tank) in the basement of a TC? In a plastic tub? With an old style closable vent on the tank cap? I haven't done it yet, but...

Love the thread hijack, heck before we were blabbing about gas cans lol...
Fairly popular along the Gulf Coast for getting into, and hopefully out of, very shallow and thick marshes. Most will run in 1-3 inches of water or wet mud.
I think they originated in SE Asia. GoDevil in Baton Rouge Louisiana was one of the early builders. Lots of young guys get them and then hot rod them with different exhausts, carbs, cams, etc. Most engines are Briggs & Stratton Vanguard but Kawasaki, Kohler, and Subaru are in it too.
There's quite a bunch being used in Alaska. Cheap to run, efficient, functional. Burns a lot less gas than an outboard jet unit but doesn't go as fast. And goes where jets don't. I used to slither over beaver dams and logs that the outboard jets could not. And I could grind through rocks, gravel, and silt that would plug up a jet.
I had a Go-Devil engine of one form or another from about 1993 to 2013. And I was on the mudmotor forums too.
To my knowledge, Go-Devil was the first builder and others copied them. He got the idea from his time in SE Asia.
