Oh, Laitch, I can make it stay. It won't be pretty but I can make it stay. I'm almost at that point now.

Maybe I'll go full redneck and just bungee strap a 5 gallon gas can to it.

There's a market for customization like that. Don't list it for less that 4K Canadian.

Good. I was also thinking of putting a spoiler wing on the back. A 2x6 would be cheap enough and easy to form with a wood rasp. Also attachable with a a bungee or duct tape.

My retired carpenter could form that spoiler up for a few cases of Moosehead

If searching for a new used tank I recently purchased parts from the Old Motorcycle Shop in Calgary AB

Thanks Volador. I have seen them around for a few years now but have never dealt with them. I have just been thinking I should give them  call.

I guess the time has come.

It still seems weird that after all these years the problem rears its head now with no way of overcoming it. But the system is pretty simple.
