Gasoline IV bottle

I had a wicked round TIG welded aluminum gas IV bottle it even had a tube on the side where you could see the gas level. I loaned it out, and it didn't come back. I am looking for ideas to make a decent basic cheap setup with an on off valve. My old one might still come back, I just need one soon. Does anyone have any ideas.
 
Motion Pro makes one, sells on Amazon for about $48.

I’m sure you could put together something similar for less $.
 
universal coolant reservoir from orilleys...under 10 bucks. get whatever length of 1/4 inch fuel line you want and a double ended brass barb. Find a tractor supply or local small engine place and get one of those red levered lawnmower fuel shutoff valves. probably be under 20 bucks all in. I had an old lamp stand tat was about 5 ft tall and that became my iv bottle holder

I must have heard you mention it somewhere and adopted the idea. Works like a charm.

I like using a length of clear hose from the bottle so I can see the flow. The clear section gets rock hard after a while though.

 
thats my setup. may i make a suggestion? move the shut off as close tp the barb as is practical. Reason is that when you disconnect the bottle much less gas will drip out.
 
I bought one of those motion pro tanks (although it certainly wasn't $40 then!) and it worked okay except that it I left gas in it overnight once and the gas ate through the plastic near the barb. I need to find a replacement metal barb (with gas-proof seals) for it someday but I have no idea what to look for.
 
I use a plastic gallon fuel can with a hole cut in it for a valved outlet.
With fuel in it, it hangs nicely from the ceiling beam in the workshop.

 
Iron Pony motor sports out here in Columbus OH sells one similar to what Rich posted for not a lot of money. I could pick one up for you the next time I head over there and ship it to you. If interested, send me a message and we can work out the payment details
 
I`m too cheap for all that. I set the bike`s tank on one of my Harbor Freight workmate clone things and ran some hoses to the carbs. I hope the welded one finds its way back. that sounds nice.
 
I use a mini bike gas tank I bought on Fleabay. It was like $25 and it is steel with mounting bolts on the bottom. Have it mounted to a stand I can set up next to the bike. Fleabay has a crapload of options for this setup.
