Fuel management is a serious issue when you’re trying to get from point A to Point B and in between is nothing but desert. You can’t pull into an Exxon station when you’re running low – fuel stops are carefully planned. Drivers have two options: do it yourself or hire a company who provides pit services. We are doing the latter, signing up with JCR Honda.

One of the requirements for this service is that your bike have a dry break receiver on the fuel tank. This wasn’t something that I was familiar with, but it’s pretty straightforward. The racing fuel is placed in ‘dump cans’ that allow for a quick and safe re-fueling at an amazing rate (a few seconds). These dump cans connects to your tank via a dry break receiver. A Honda CRF450x comes with a stock 1.9 gallon tank with screw cap – this will be replaced with an after-market tank that has a larger capacity and the necessary receiver.
