HI a simple way to get fuel fron your tank is your usual plastic tube 3 ft long put one end into tank as far as you can ,place your thumb firmly over the end sticking out of tank and draw the tube out swiftly about half way and down to the side of tank let your thumb off and fuel should flow ,may take a couple of goes to perfect but once you learn you wont go back to risking a petrol or diesel mouthwash again and you only need to carry this small tube ROB

As it happens I have just bought myself a Primus omni fuel stove. Also as well as the 0.6 litre bottle that came with it I got a spare 1 Litre bottle. Idea is it provides me with an extra 20 miles reserve range for the bike plus a reserve tank for the stove. My intention is to refill the bottles when I take on fuel for the bike. Don't know yet how this system will work out.

I use the same system, albeit mine is MSR, the neck of the fuel bottle is a little narrow when filling at the station, but I just fill it from the tank after use (for morning coffee, full english and scones) then head to the filling station.

It's only 20 miles, but it's better than walking it!

Same here. MSR stove, 2009 BMW R1200GS Adv. It used to be real easy with my '88 Tenere (3AJ) until I replaced that last November ;)

I like the idea with the lengthy tube with a tap, as I happen to still have a spare tap from my Libby chainoiler. I'll refuel the bottles every time I refuel the bike but give the Adventure's 33l tank it could take several days between two gas station stops. I actually considered taking a small funnel since the MSR neck is a bit narrow.

I don't know, I've only seen them in the catalogue. You could try the 'contact us' button on the Touratech website and see what they come back with ?

I had two sets (not sure if it was TT) a few years ago.
When they are connected both parts are open (obviously) and when disconnected one is open and one is close.

Mine started to leak after a few weeks and I threw them away. Not sure if I had trusted this for a FI-bike that has a pressurized system. Does the petrol run freely through the pump?

I like the idea of the single pipe solution. I didn't think of that. Next time I'll try to get as much of the pipe below the fuel level and then pull it out with my thumb over it and put it into my fuel bottle. That's much simpler than my solution, thanks.:thumbup1:

Now I've not motorcycle toured, but have bicycle toured a fair bit and I think you maybe looking for a solution to a problem that doesnt exist. I just fill my MSR bottle up at petrol stations, in the Uk people moan about minimum amounts but they usually relent, abroad its never been a problem. When touring I use my small fuel bottle and it easily lasts two days cooking for 2 people, a big bottle no doubt will do 4 days, in this time I expect most motorbikers will have visited a petrol station or 2.

wow, 20 miles on a litre? thats 90mpg.
so there is still an enfield robin out there after all.........

You got the Enfield part right, but an Electra, not robin diesel :)
In fact it has averaged out at 95mpg ( having climbed up from 94 during the winter).

You have clearly underestimated a 33l fuel tank. Even with my Tenere's 24l capacity I managed to avoid gas stations for three to four days, averaging at 150km per day. You do the 33l math ;)

I bought a purpose made tube from Halfords for a few quid a couple of years ago.It consists of a piece of tube with a one way valve on one end,the valve is a simple ball bearing type,you put it into your tank and "jiggle" it up and down a few times and hey presto petrol.It is good if you are lying in your tent in the morning and you hear some one "jiggling"you no the coffee is on its way!:clap:

In which case you'll be fine!!

I might, but my wife usually likes to eat, too ;)
Should've mentioned that we travel two-up. I'll probably just pick up another fuel bottle and attach that to the panniers.
