On group rides the 2.9 gallon gas tank for my 2002 Honda Shadow VLX 600cc needs to be filled before everyone else gets low. I carry a metal can made for Sea Foam filled with gas and a little Sea Foam, just in case I run out of fuel.

On long trips especially in desert areas with few gas stations, some people will bring an extra gallon or two of gas- for weight distribution it is best to put the gas in the bottom of saddlebags, one plastic gallon container for each side.
