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.

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.

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.

I answered this question a while ago here and my answer should be located within the write up reviews; That said, I shall answer it again. This is not the correct kind of pump you would or could use on bicycle, car, motorcycle tires with. It is only good for inflating and deflating what would be air mattresses, pool accessories, and such. The adapters are not made to fit anything other than air mattresses, etc. I hope this helps. For the car, motorcycle, bike tires you will need a compressor air pump. You can either go to an old-style gas station, go to your favorite car tire center, or purchase any multitude of compressor air pumps listed on Amazon.com, or other site.

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.

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

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.

Use regular unleaded fuel 87 octane,do not mix oil with gas.Oil goes separate in the crankcase, oil type 5W30.

i use it every time,i got the small bottle from the parts store and add that to a fill up, then i refill it for next time,i get better mpg with it then with out it.

I agree with MyFoose that you should try using fresh gasoline with an additive such as Sta-Bil. I have never had trouble starting any of my Honda engines.

Nope. Volume of container is pretty small. I wouldn't risk it. It only takes a few pumps from a standard bike pump. Super easy.

I used these filters on my 1999 Sportster and had problems with them leaking. I had purchased two of them at the same time and they both leaked no matter how tight I got them. I inspected the gaskets on both and could not observe any defects. I then switched back to the chrome Harley Davidson filters and have had no problems with leaks. I also have a 2007 Softail Springer Classic and use these filters on that bike. None have leaked on the Springer. I am not sure if I got two bad ones for the Sportster what happened, but I am going to stick with the H-D filters from now on.

It is a problem. I am not that happy with how they have sealed the top. The first time I used this in a Tri, I did not secure the inner bottle down with the rubber band and it was creeping up. I pushed it down only to be drenched with gatorade. So for the next 55 miles of my ride, I was very sticky. I ended up making my own gasket to seal the top. You then need to open it to refill, but it is better than having the liquid come out of the bottle.

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

Nope, but why would you want to?? This should be added every few thousand miles or so to your gas tank and "immediate need" is not required. I place a mileage sticker on my gas filler cover so I know when to add it next, just as a reminder and keep the bottle in my garage.

Hi Chery J.! I have intalled it on my Buggy and the gas in my country has about 21% of alcohol and so far any sign of problem.

This is simply pure gasoline with added stabilizers and with 2 cycle oil and WITHOUT any alcohol. Presently there are no suppliers that sell a product that is not appropriate for your equipment. If you don't wish to use this expensive fuel the next best thing is use only pure gasoline and not gasohol fuel. Pure gasoline can still be purchased at marinas and some auto stations. Given time some discounter will see an opportunity in bottling garbage pump gas and I would therefore stick with name brand fuels.

A gasoline engine would require one bottle of Rev-X. My diesel requires two bottles, due to the greater oil capacity of my engine.
