Giant Loop Armadillo Bag, Utility Bladder for Safe Transport and Storage of Powersports and Automot

Very pleased with the quality and durability of this fuel bag.

These are not approved for carrying gasoline in the U.S., but they work well for that purpose in other countries. Many times, I've started out on my dirt bike with a full tank and gotten home on fumes, so I bought this Armadillo bag. If I were to fill it with gasoline, it would greatly extend my range, and I wouldn't worry about running out of fuel. Of course, I would never do that, because it's against the law to dispense gasoline into a non-approved container, but theoretically, I feel a lot more confident knowing that I theoretically have an extra gallon of gasoline with me. It straps to the seat securely, and takes up little space. It's easy to fill, I just hang it from the handlebar and fill it from the gas pump (theoretically, of course). Once it's empty, it folds up and fits in a saddlebag, taking up almost no space. It's built robustly, it's never leaked, and the spout actually works for dispensing the liquid into the dirt bike's tank without getting gas all over my hands. (That's actually unusual, most spouts seem deliberately designed to get gasoline all over one's hands.) Theoretically, it's just about the perfect way to carry gasoline. It probably works well for other fluids, too.

This is a great way to carry extra fuel on a motorcycle. I ran parts of the Idaho BDR last summer where fuel was a concern. My bike (Husqvarna 701) has about a 200 mile max range. Gas sources on some parts of the IDBDR were temporarily unavailable at times. I bought the 2 gallon bladder. It rolled up small when not needed, and it gave me the option to carry empty, fill completely, or fill partially, depending on where I was riding. It also has good strapping points, which gave me flexibility in how I tied it to my bike.

These come in various sizes and are a perfect way to store & carry an emergency fuel supply. I bought mine for a motorcycle. Very easy to use and comes with the spigot in a small storage pocket.

Ya tengo el producto casi 5 meses y he tenido 3 viajes de más de 12 horas, durante todo tipo de clima desde sol hasta lluvia y también elevaciones desde nivel de mar hasta 4000 metros de altura en montañas. La verdad estoy muy satisfecho con el producto y me ha parecido una excelente opción, si es un poco complicado el tema de llenarle de combustible ya que en gasolineras no aceptan debido a que no cumple con regulaciones. Pero al momento de realizar los viajes no he tenido problemas, se le ve que es de buen material y viene con el dispensador que incluso tiene una pequeña rejilla para no dejar pasar basuras que pueda tener el combustible. Al momento el modelo que compre de 3 galones si está un poco grande para mi motocicleta pero a pesar de eso me ha parecido un excelente producto. No he tenido fugas ni tampoco se percibe el olor a combustible si se le tiene cerrado. Las dos únicas observaciones de uso que podría hacer es que en el manual se recomienda que se debe poner el combustible para el momento de hacer el viaje y que no se recomienda dejarle lleno de combustible de manera prolongada, es decir cómo metodo de almacenaje. Y el otro es que si se viaja y hay mucho sol toca abrirle un poco para que salga el aire. En los 3 viajes solo una vez tuve que hacerlo no salió mucho aire y creo que no era necesario pero si se me regó un poco de combustible así que hay que tener cuidado. El éxito sería que por el precio deberían enviarnos algún tipo de amarre o soga ya que viene sin nada y se vende aparte creo que eso deberían mejorar. Una última cosa por qué no me ha hecho falta y porque estaba probando el producto yo no le he llenado nunca con los 3 galones solo hasta 2.5, recomiendo no exceder el almacenaje máximo por qué tiene una membrana interna que se podría romper si se excede y de ser posible poner un poco menos tengo dos compañeros de ruta que tienen el mismo producto por más de 1 año y tampoco han tenido inconvenientes

It does as it should, but it wasn't cheap either. Does have lots of attachment options, but I was hoping top and bottom handles would just slide down my motorcycle sissybar. Bottom one requires a strap which isn't horrible. Once it's there it doesn't move around as the inflated bag actually helps it stay in place. I've only mounted it upright. Great option for bike with tiny tank. My only issue is the price seems steep, but as there isn't anything else like it to compete...this is exactly what I wanted. Very heavy duty outer shell won't scratch anything and infinite mounting options and it's easy to fill and empty without spilling. I'd buy it again if it ever gets lost or damaged.

Naturally my return window has expired. I bought this item for a 1600 mile trip as a extra plan in case I couldn't find gas station. I paid the extra money for this item because it was the actual company and not a 3rd party that offered same product at $20 cheaper. I even watched their video and did as suggested by buying their straps to secure the Bag . I received the 5 gallon bag and straps. I went put gas in the bag to make sure it did not leak. it held gas , so after about a hour i got home and wife wanted the bag out of the vehicle there was a smell of gas. I put the gas in the tank and rolled up the bag and searched for a spot i could store the bag . I had a compartment where I had room for it. the next day the gas smell was in the vehicle wife wanted it out. I decided to put bag in my shed till the trip . I filled bag day of trip and put it on top of rack along with a small carpet we put in front of our camping tent and a storage box is on the roof rack also. half trip needed to use the gas bag no gas station for gas the land rover only gets 15 mpg. when loaded. at next station I filled bag strapped it to roof not touching the storage box or the small carpet . the bag had its own spot. as the trip continued as I got to stations of places to eat , I would push on the bag to see if it was hard to release pressure. Lots of push so I continued after awhile we could smell gas I checked bag seemed fine still not hard. I climbed ladder a bit to see better and could see the bag was dripping at a slow rate. I the put the left over gas say half the bag in the tank and went to a carwash to spray the gas off the roof. the wife was complaining and even if i could return this 5 gallon bag, The wife would not go on trip with the bag ever again. so if they give me any kind of compensation for the $225 I lost trying the 5gallon bag . It would be a nice suggestion, and i will write a continued review at that point. I also looked close at the bag and noticed it said 2023 the bag was made so it was 2 years old and i bought it from the actual company.

If you have any UTV and are traveling for extended trips in the deserts of Arizona one of these fuel bags will provide a great addition to your long trips. Once you use the fuel the bag folds up into a tight package that is easily stored and no longer takes up space on the machine. I’ve used it for years and it is especially valuable for the traveling the Arizona Peace Trail on a gas hungry machine.

Awesome bag. Rolls small when not in use and easy to attach anywhere on the bike or existing luggage. I use couple small ROK straps on 2gal. When storing inside I leave it open for a day outside to vent, and no gas smell. Easy to pour with included spout, no leaks or spills. Also easy to fill. Does get bloated on direct sun, so needs to be cracked open to vent.

La bolsa se siente de gran calidad. La uso para transportar "hidrocarburos" para mi motocicleta.

Very bad condition dirty and use clearly never recommended if possible I can share the pictures also, but there is no place to share picture

Made the trek up to Tuktoyaktuk and needed the extra fuel capacity for the Dempster. This bag was perfect — so much better than Rotopax or other hard-shell fuel carriers. It rolls up smaller than a water bottle when empty, and the integrated tie-down loops make it super easy to secure. 5/5 stars.

Perfect item and works as it should. Users have to be careful when bag is full and the weather temp increases drastically. AS one would expect, bag expands and pressure must be released. No issues with leakage.
