Some of yous follas might be wanting some more capussety Capesetyy space in your follas fuel tanks.

So here's a tip for yous follas, half fill you follas IV bags with gas, leave some air in them and then ark your follas boats in the roof of your garage for a month during summer or until they look like this!

In all seriousness the bags are still completely intact so it may actually be a legit way of turning a 1 litre IV bag into a 2 litre IV bag!

You go for it, I'll have the last laugh when I finish half a lap ahead of you. If you want to get serious about larger capacity tanks for Off Shore then think about this. I am experimenting at the moment on using the old fashion bed warmer yes that's right a hot water bottle. I will let you know the results of my experiment only if successful.

Love it, if you really want to finish half a lap ahead of me, then check the compatibility of the rubber with petrol. Just sayin' 😀

some of the best inventions where discovered by mistake 🙂 , Brian, I would fill up the hot water bottle with gas then leave it for a couple of weeks to make sure the gas doesnt break down the rubber , you wouldnt want sludgey rubber going through your engine, it may work just fine but would pay to check first and keep checking it often.
You can get a 5L iv bag from equine vets , that may be a safer option?
although the drawback of running so much fuel is that your boat will run very wet for 10-15 minutes until you burn off some fuel (weight).

Nuffing in the rules about mandatory pstops wee man. Too right Damian, this is definitely one of them accidental discoveries. I'll run them for a while to see what happens. 🙂
