How to Solve the Small Fuel Tank Issue in Scooters?
2 Answers
You can add an auxiliary fuel tank in the under-seat space, connecting it to the main fuel tank. You can also install storage boxes on the rear seat and both sides, as having multiple under-seat compartments can be troublesome. Manufacturers could develop an additional model option, offering versions with or without an under-seat compartment but equipped with an auxiliary fuel tank, for customers to choose from.
In my daily life, I often encounter the annoyance of a small fuel tank when riding a scooter. The best solution is to carry a spare fuel tank—those portable plastic cans are compactly designed, perfect for strapping to the rear seat or storing in the compartment, making them convenient for long trips. Before setting off, use a mobile map to mark gas stations along the route to avoid remote stretches. While riding, maintain a steady speed and avoid frequent acceleration or deceleration to save fuel. Regular checks on tire pressure and the air filter can significantly improve fuel efficiency. Modifications are also an option, such as installing an auxiliary fuel tank, but ensure it’s done at a reputable shop for safety, with prices ranging from a few hundred to over a thousand. A small fuel tank isn’t a major issue—with smart strategies, you can enjoy hassle-free rides and the freedom of the open road.
