Silly? OK if you say so. I was trying to show that a person may not really NEED a extra fuel tank. Also the fact I have only needed it once. Cost was minimal and to add to the Silly conversation it is very unlikely anyone will pay back the cost.
As I showed a real toolbox is a much better thing to have IMHO.
Your alternative is sill. And off topic.
The OP states that he is looking for something with a capacity between 40 - 70 gallons. And you tell him he should look at a 5 gallon plastic tank that will give him an extra what, 40ish miles, but he still has to stop and pour it into his main tank to use it. He didn't ask for a full tool box and plastic jug. He asked for combo tank experience.
Without exception, when these threads come up, you step in with your opinion that a aux fuel tank isn't "needed". Obviously the OP thinks otherwise.
As far as "payback the cost", for most of us that have an aux tank, it isn't about "paying back the cost". Nor is it a matter of "I can only drive for so long before I have to stop to eat or use the restroom". It is about being able to chose where you stop, not be forced to stop because you have driven for 300 miles and are now out of range.
And, since you already brought this off topic, I can tell you with confidence that I in fact have "paid back" the cost multiple times over.
Now, hopefully we can get back to the posts answering the topic at hand.
Exactly. But some people will never understand such simple logic
