FEATURE:
The Gas Bag can be a
lifesaver out on the trail and
is also great for transferring
fuel from one motorcycle to
another.
RIDER ANALYSIS:
I'm that rider that has tried
every method to haul extra
gas on long rides, but I've
ditched them all for the Giant
Loop Gas Bag. For adventure
rides it easily straps to the
bike (there are plenty of
attachment points) or drops
into a side box.
I know the rules say not
to transport gas unless you
are on a closed course but
as soon as there is room
in my gas tank, I dump the
contents of the Gas Bag into
the bike (I don't wait for it to
run out). For off-roading, I fill
the Gas Bag about half full so
it conforms to the pocket on
my riding vest or backpack.
With a full gallon of gas it is
best strapped to something.
An empty Gas Bag doesn't
take up much room and tucks
away nicely until it's needed.
Filling the Gas Bag is easier
with two people. The opening
isn't very large, and holding
a gas can and the Gas Bag
at the same time is a special
talent. Dumping a full Gas
Bag into your bike's gas tank
is a mess unless you are very
careful and deliberate. It isn't
a quick fill system so take
your time and don't squeeze
the bag or you'll have fuel
everywhere. The price might
seem high, but the Gas Bag
is durable and a pretty darn
safe way to transport fuel.
Giant Loop is serious about
you knowing the purpose of
the Gas Bag and so are we.
You should check out their
disclaimer at their website.

Riders use a smorgasbord of containers to carry extra fuel on long rides: empty oil bottles, laundry
detergent bottles, etc. Giant Loop, however, makes a purpose-built container. Giant Loop's Gas Bag
Fuel Safe Bladder transports one gallon of fuel and collapses down for space-saving storage when
empty. The Gas Bag consists of a collapsible welded film and ballistic nylon-reinforced container. It
isn't a long-term storage container for gas. When not carrying fuel, the Gas Bag rolls up or packs flat
for easy transport. Each Fuel Safe Bladder is individually pressure tested and made in the USA by
Fuel Safe, a leading racing fuel containment manufacturer based in Redmond, Oregon.
