Anyone have any suggestions for smaller bottles to carry oil in? I've got a smaller tool box courtesy of an extended tank and rarely need to carry a full 2 litre oil bottle.
Cheers

I use the plastic bottles from the Body Shop. I put a white sticker down one side and there is sufficient space to mark it at 2% 3% or 4% per 5 litres of petrol.
The bottles are made of thick plastic although Mrs Bristolmod can't understand how she uses the contents up so fast.

Usually when I ride I know where I'm going so will carry the appropriate oil. So I have a bottle with enough for 5 litres and another for 10 litres. Theres plenty on eBay.
Try Cam-Lam .... they have a specific size in small aluminium bottles for running at 3% mix... if of course that's your desired mix (mine is so easy)

Just tell her that you re-filled them with 'Essential Oil' and she won't mind at allbristolmod wrote:I use the plastic bottles from the Body Shop. I put a white sticker down one side and there is sufficient space to mark it at 2% 3% or 4% per 5 litres of petrol.

200ml plastic drink bottles from the supermarket are ideal for what ever ratio you use.

Got mine from Primark, they did a pack of different size bottles in a pouch for holiday use which i found are good for enough oil for 4 litres of fuel
Think they were about 2 pounds and were on the racks as you queue for the tills

I carry 6 x 150mm plastic bottles bought off e-bay. If I put 5 litres in the tank i'm running at 3% if I put 7.5 litres in that's 2%. I don't measure just empty the bottle in and fill up. That's to and from a rally when we do 60-70 mile stints between petrol stations @ roughly 10 miles to the litre.
I also carry one of those 1L aluminium bottles to top my bottles up when I get the chance.
