What are the coka cola bottles for in your fuel can rack?


Hey Chad,
Re the coke bottles: On normal commuting weeks I rarely bother to stop off at a servo to top up my TA tank. Rather, when I'm filling up the car, I simply fill up a couple of 10 litre fuel drums at the same time and mark a date on the handle of the drum. Having classic bikes and a collection of petrol garden tools, the worst thing for them is stale fuel so dating the container lets me use the oldest fuel first. The 2 litre coke bottles are just remnants of the 10 litre fuel drums that I decant when the TA can't take on any more fuel. Regardless of what people may say, they make fantastic disposable fuel containers when you are going on a long trip and tuck nicely into a pannier or top box. In fact I think in a lot countries it may be illegal to store fuel in soft drink containers, so for the benefit of this thread, the coke bottles are just full of coloured water OK?
