MSR Dromedary Bladders

[scootermeister]

This is the optional MSR Dromedary Bladder cap ($9.95) one needs to adapt the bladder into an auxiliary fuel tank. Heat the end of the spiggot momentarily over the stove while turning it over rotisserie style, then carefully thread a 1/4" hose x 1/8" NPT fuel hose barb into the spiggot until you've used up all the threads. Install a stainless fuel line hose clamp over the spiggot where the threads are. I've been using the system I installed in my Piaggio MP3 500 for a year now. It has never leaked/weaped a single drop of fuel.

This is what the MSR cap should look like when your finished installing the hose barb.

This is a 10 litre MSR Dromedary Bag fitted in the underseat compartment of my MP3 500. The cap is the primary shut-off, but I have a MotionPro in-line shut-off as a back up. The MSR bag is plumbed to a T-fitting. The Acerbis tail tank gravity feeds the MSR bag. Both the Acerbis and MSR are plumbed to the scooter's gas tank with an outboard fuel line quick-disconnect. Sounds complicated, but it really isn't. 7 gallons of fuel translates to lots of kilometers.

This is how you fuck up a water resistant under-seat stowage compartment -- ventilating it to eliminate fuel vapor.

You MUST use a McCuff to fill the MSR Dromedary Bladder to protect the polyurethane inner lining from being damaged by the metal fuel nozzle.

Super-genius Sir Issac Newton is responsible for my understanding the necessity of placing the filled fuel bladder with the spigot toward the bottom of the stowage compartment.
