Depending on the type of Honda Pioneer you own -- as well as other factors like ground pitch, terrain type, and riding style -- you can only get a few hundred miles out of any given tank of gasoline. In a Honda Pioneer 1000-5 deluxe, for example, you should expect to achieve an average 30 miles per gallon when traveling 30 miles per hour on flat, hard-packed, dirt trails. With a tank size that holds roughly seven gallons of fuel, you’ll be able to go around 200 miles without refilling when conditions are optional. When you add a steep grade, soft trails, and high RPMs to the mix, you can safely expect around 125 miles of range out of your Honda Pioneer. This might be enough for some riders, but for those who want to ride further, longer, and without worry, installing one or multiple Honda Pioneer fuel packs is necessary. And the best way to carry a Honda Pioneer gas can is with a Honda Pioneer fuel pack mount that is made to fit the roll bars of a Honda Pioneer.
There are various types of fuel packs for the Honda Pioneer, and many Honda Pioneer gas pack mounting options to choose from. Kolpin fuel packs and Rotopax gas cans are just two among many. Several companies make gas cans for the Honda Pioneer in various sizes, shapes, and styles. But regardless of whether you’re going on a multi-day camping ride, headed out to your hunting lease for a few days, or needing to top up your other gas-powered farming, landscaping, or ranch equipment, you can do it all with the Honda Pioneer fuel packs and fuel pack mounts from Everything Honda Offroad!
Kolpin gas cans are popular among owners of the Honda Pioneer because they are leak-resistant and tough as nails. You can mount them wherever you have room, and many riders like to put them on an extended tailgate or spare tire rack. Honda Pioneer gas cans are not only great for multi-day excursions, hunting outings, and long day trips, but they are also a great plan B in the event that something goes wrong. You won’t have to second guess yourself about wanting to summit that peak with spare fuel on hand. If you want to go the extra mile, you can do so with the confidence of knowing you have backup fuel to get you home. But regardless of what fuel pack you’re using, make sure to use an additive if it’s going to sit for long periods of time. Non-ethanol fuel is a good place to start, but adding things like SeaFoam and Marvel Mystery Oil will help you prevent the dreaded “white rust.” You should also rotate your spare gas once a month or so for good measure, as this is far easier than having to rebuild your machine’s carburetor.
The fuel efficiency of stock Honda Pioneers is one thing, but when you start adding things like portal gear lifts, larger tires, and hefty storage racks, your vehicle’s range will be noticeably reduced. Many riders who’ve modified their machines choose to run two 3-gallon gas cans, others, however, opt for a single 8-gallon fuel pack for their Honda Pioneer. No matter the size, the Honda Pioneer fuel packs available from Everything Honda Offroad will last you year after year with no leaks, no gasoline smells, and no swelling. You can mount them behind your rear seats, bolt them onto your bed extender, or strap them onto your safari rack without a second thought about it!
Hard-sided fuel packs for the Honda Pioneer like those by Rotopax are a solid option, and with easy-pour nozzles, it’s super quick and simple to top up your UTV with gasoline. There are other options out there, however, such as gas bags / fuel-safe bladders like the ones by Giant Loop. Honda Pioneer fuel bladders are a good accessory to use when space is at a premium. They can change shape to squeeze into oddly-shaped areas, and roll up tightly after you’ve used the fuel inside to fill your primary gas tank. In terms of convenience, Honda Pioneer gas bags take the cake! At the end of the day, only you can decide which type of Honda Pioneer fuel pack works best for you. If you’re rarely more than a mile from home, you may not need an external Honda Pioneer gas tank. But if you ride alone in far-flung regions where others seldom travel, having extra fuel on hand and ready to go can be a literal lifesaver. Use the petrol inside your Honda Pioneer fuel pack in your own UTV, or let your buddy top up his machine with it. But whatever you do, for amazing deals on Honda Pioneer fuel packs and Honda Pioneer fuel pack mounts, you can do no better than Everything Honda Offroad!
