Jerry can questions: what size do I need for South America with a DL-650?
Hi folks:
Currently in Colombia, but will start my travels South towards Ecuador in about a month (continuing a 10 month odyssey from Seattle => Argentina).
I have a 5.8 gallon tank on the 'Strom and have been averaging 45 MPG so that would get me about 250 miles. I plan on riding through Bolivia and I know gas is a bit tough there. So I'm wondering:
a) What size jerrycan would you folks recommend carrying with you? 1 Gallon, 2 Gallons?
b) Where do you folks mount this sucker? I'm in Colombia and I'm wondering if I can a welder to make something like the below (it's $140 in the USA, I bet I can get it done for $20 or so here).
c) What country do you really need to begin carrying a jerrycan? Peru?
Thanks!
