RotoPax Gas Tanks

I had been searching for a gas tank system for my sled and I have finally found one that I love, just to be clear I am not affiliated with RotoPax in any way, just a happy customer.

Fitment:
The mounting plate is SPOT ON and very nicely done. It's all made from aluminum and looks very nice. The only thing I wasn't sure about was the small bolts and nylon lock nuts, the bolts barely hit the end of the nuts, it looks like this was done to give clearance for the track paddles, I added lock tight just encase and so far everything looks great.

Gas Jugs:
The jugs are awesome, they are the good old vented poor type and they are very beefy/thick plastic. The ones pictured below are 2 gallons each, you can also get smaller one gallon jugs and they can stack with the 2 galloners. They DO NOT leak what so ever, I was amazed because they lay on their side.

Overall:
I have only had a few rides to test it on but so far it has held up nicely, doesn't budge especially if you get the Deluxe mounting handle, this allows you to really crank the cans down so they cant move at all.

Now for the pictures. I had my mounting plate powder coated black to match my sled. Here you will see them on my M8 and my dads RMK, if you have a newer RMK RotoPax has utilized the rail system so no drilling holes for you lucky guys.















If you decide to try them out make sure you send pictures to Jason at RotoPax so he can put them on their website.

Neat system!

Can that handle thingee in the middle be removed when not packing the tank?

The handle unscrews but the part in the middle has to stay, it is bolted through the mounting plate from the bottom, so might as well leave the handle on.

Well written review,thank you.Do you have to use the extension when using 2 or more containers? I assume so, my oldest son wants to put this on his xp and get the utility box along w/gas can/s.

Thank you, Yes you have to use the extension, I think you would have to get two extensions if you wanted to run two cans and a container, I wouldn't go any higher then two though. I would just run two cans or a can and a container.

I did some more testing today, I rode really hard and man that thing did not move. I really did some bashing, ended up having to break out the saw and move a few trees that jumped in the way. I am very impressed with these cans.
