I need to have my fuel tank off while running my bike to find out where a gas leak is.  Need a way to have gas running to the bike while its running.  Anybody out there have a source for a cheap fuel cell or make one cheaply to do this?  TIA!

The old canteen was purchased for $2, but anything that will hold fuel and can be drilled and tapped will work.  A quart water bottle made of heavy plastic or metal comes to mind.  Everything else can be purchased at any decent hardware store (and probably the water bottle also) for way less $$$ than anything you can purchase already made.  Also, you will have the satisfaction of designing & building it yourself.  This little gadget is also great for syncing carbs...Jim Smiley

I've been using the Motion Pro for a number of years, just hang it on the handlebar.

Old small engine tank. kinda rectangular, made a bracket out of some bent up aluminum to hook it on the handle bars. Works great!.
