Tank of fuel

[RipinItUp 400EX]

How long does a tank of fuel usually last everyone on their 400? It holds 10 litres doesn't it?!

[underpowered]

a 400ex fuel tank holds about 3.2 gallons, not sure what that is in litres though. i usually get about 70 miles to a tank on a long ride.

[swva400ex]

yeah i get about 65 miles or so depends on how much i play around while everyone takes a brake

[brapbrap13]

70 miles or so.

[400exc]

i thought the 400 tank is 2.6 gallon? maybe im wrong? but i get around 70-75 miles to the whole tank just puttin aroudn on trails all day... and a little play time in there

[RipinItUp 400EX]

How long in hours does the fuel last?

[swva400ex]

how long does it take you to ride 70 miles.are you going to leave it running the whole time. as far as that goes if i dont ride for 6 months, the gas will still be in there.lol

[RipinItUp 400EX]

well on average I mean!

[swva400ex]

it all depends man, on how you ride, where you ride, i am not tryin to be a *****, but 70 miles give or take.

[RipinItUp 400EX]

have you ever run out?

[swva400ex]

i ve never ran out but i have ran a while on reserve. my friend has ran out once or twice.i start back to the truck before that happens.

a 400 tank holds 2.6 gallons ive ran out once,now i bought a IMS 4.3 gallon tank now i can go for 120 miles i dont have to fill up for 4 or 5 weeks riding everyday.

[hondamanex400]

if im not mistaking, the 3.2 is with the reserve amount added in there. but anyways, it all depends on how many wheelies you ride and for how long, how much you spin your tires, how many rpm's you run in each and every gear, and so on and so forth. Gas milage depends on all of that plus some other things that i am forgetting

I ride in the dunes. I have paddle tires, a WB E-Series pipe, a Moose Works Power-up stage 2 kit, and a Sparks 6-degree timing advance key.

If I'm just putting aroung, the gas will last about 90 minutes.
If I'm really stomping on the throttle, it will last 45 minutes.

I have a 440 kit so idkunno if that uses more fuel (and aftermarket exhaust so more airflow

and i can ride from 11'ish to 5'ish on a tank and have to go to reserve.

Im going to start keeping a small like 1 gallon tank of gas either at camp or on the bike depending on how far out were going.

[newrider4002001]

no offense but if your so worried about running out of gas why dont you buy an aftermarket tank they can hold alot more it may look ugly but it keeps ya from walking back home:)

You are definitely one of the extremely rare lucky cases. 4-5 hrs on 1 tank is extremely unusual. Unless you take breaks adding up to 3-4 hrs. Enjoy the great economy you have. With gas prices skyrocketing, you'll definitely wanna hold onto this machine for years to come.

Lets invent a quad that runs on... dirt (and it just spits it out the back again on the trail)

:chinese: :macho

i don't take a lot of brakes. maybe it's just my elevation:confused:

[tmccaughin]

the gas tank is 2.6 gallons with a .4 gallon reserve and i have a 170 main jet and it takes 5-6 hours of hard pounding to get it to reserve

[jordan_m6]

i dont think i have ever ran out of gas, even when i actually go ride for 8+ hours on sunday. we always ran hard but took a few brakes may be 30- 45 min long.

[400eXr1d3rZ]

I ran out of gas once, it started it bog down so i smacked down the throttle, i was in 3rd gear, and waiting till it just killed, then went to netrual and just coasted all the way back hehehe, I only had to push about 10 feet, i wasnt but about 150 feet away from the truck.


I would LOVE to get a IMS tank, i just wish they didnt look like a BRAIN!!!

[Honda#4]

get a clark tank then there bigger anyway
