I've been arguing with a buddy of mine about whether riding a motorcycle with a 2 litre bottle of gasoline in your backpack is dangerous. This all started about a week ago when I watched a video where a motorcyclist was riding with a metal thermos full of gas in his bag. I mentioned the video to my friend and said "could you imagine riding around with a 2 litre plastic pop bottle full of gas in your backpack? that would be dumb". He responded with "that would be perfectly safe. there's no way that a 2 litre could leak in the event of a crash". It's been a few days of arguing so I would like to settle this matter via a public jury. Just to be clear, his argument is this: "A 2 litre soda bottle filled with gas would survive a motorcycle crash, thus posing no danger to the rider. This is a perfectly safe thing to do" I disagree. A 2L bottle would not survive the forces involved in a high speed motorcycle crash. The argument has escalated to him sending me videos of him throwing around bottles and running them over with his car. To be fair, in these videos the bottle does not break. I'm still not convinced. Please help us settle this matter or I will be forced to end our 10 year friendship over this. OG Algier fucked around with this message at 01:29 on Aug 30, 2019 |

Clearly it was a propane powered truck and it was the truck that exploded, NOT THE BIKE.

I'm pretty sure a 2L bottle of gas wouldn't survive a LOW speed crash. Environmentally soundish bottles are made with less plastic. Fuel in a bottle will increase pressure when it is moved around, the same thing happens in your gas tank. It's real fuckin dumb op hth

Just drink the gas and puke it up if you need to refuel, idiot!

You should also keep gasoline in glass bottles and store them in random places around town OP.

Attach a large kite or a balloon with a 2 liter soda bottle tied to it and connected directly to the gas tank with a long flexible hose. In event if a crash, it will simply fly away from the site, intact.

There's probably a reason gas tanks are made out of metal

A 2 litre wouldn't survive a crash, but a 3 litre absolutely would.

Your friend is a dumdum and you might be better off without him. In any case, don’t get on a motorcycle with him.

I worked in a grocery store and 2 liters will explode of you look at them the wrong way. Exploded 2 liters are just acceptable losses because soda doesn't explode into flames.

it would be dangerous just loose in a 2L in a normal backpack. what you need is a purpose built backpack specially made for fluids:

yeah, nothing wrong about strapping gasoline to your back and tearing down the freeway. Sounds totally cool to me. Hey. Wait a minute. Is this a play on that old story about the guy going to the Mensa meeting with a 2L soda on his back? I fell for it if so

I'm a motorcyclist and I've crashed a few times (always dumb poo poo like turning in the rain). I wouldn't be stupid enough to carry a 2L bottle of combustible fuel strapped to my back because honestly, you don't know what the gently caress is going to happen when you come off a vehicle at speed. You might be fine, you might end up rolling into a bruised/bloody mess. Ultimately, on a long enough timeframe, the gas would end up either dissolving the plastic, or weakening it enough to make it easily breakable. You'd be better off with a proper jerry can in a saddlebag or similar, but ultimately I always just make sure I have enough fuel to either get me to my destination, or to the next gas station.

There are a few situations where wearing a 2L soda bottle of extra fuel would be an ingenious solution to an obscure problem. However, there are many more situations where doing so is loving stupid.

You're friend is a dumb rear end I used to gnaw through those bottles when i was a lunatic 5 year old who knows if some errant schoolchild will latch onto the back of his moto like some kind of freakish gasoline lusting bird of prey and begins chomping it's way through the plastic shell to reach the gasoline as it claws and renders the flesh of your FOOLISH friend may God forgive his sinful soul
