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

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.

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.

It's a really nice bag and I've seen the demos online where they run over it with a motorcycle a hundred times it definitely is a tough bag. It's difficult to fill up to 2 gallons more likely 1.7 to 1.8 otherwise you're going to be spilling some. Definitely a lot cheaper than buying a new fuel tank.

I did a range test on a bike so filled this up for when I ran out. Works well but a bit difficult to fill. Ya gotta be careful not to spill fuel. It's almost a two person job. It seems very tough so I was not worried about damage. I also use the cactus canteen water bladder and I know that's tough. Heck, I sit on it at times while riding!

Very durable and no leakage.

I wish I'd known about this before I bought a RotoPax setup, as this is so much better for my application (dual-sport and ADV riding). The fact that it weighs almost nothing and occupies basically no space when empty is the most obvious advantage. It doesn't require special hardware to mount, and the options for lashing it down are endless. It allows me to double the range of my dual-sport without disrupting the handling or ergonomics of the bike, as a large tank would. It's a permanent fixture on my bike. Even though it's most often empty, it means I have an emergency Jerry-can should the need arise (for me or someone else). With no real weight/volume penalty, why not? My only gripe is the color..."hydrocarbon" containers are red by convention, and conventions are best followed when it comes to safety. It's kinda sketch that GL makes another product ("cactus canteen") that's food-safe, not "hydrocarbon"-compatible, but the same color as this. Someone could conceivably mix them up. The greater risk, I think, is that in an accident scenario it's not going to be obvious to first responders/helpful bystanders as a potential hazard. I can live with it, but it seems like an oversight.

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.

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.
