I have a new fuel cell (half keg) and just need to weld on the fittings. But It's 15.5 gallons I think. Will that be enough for the day at RC? The truck is the trail rig in my sig.
 
It's 15.5 gallons I think.

Most common half kegs like Bud or Coors or Miller will be 15.5 when you get into littler breweries then they start to vary a little but not to much. I feel like that might be a little small I would feel more comfortable with 20 but you can always just carry a jerry can
 
I might be able to get another half keg, for 31 gallons. Could make it so I could switch between the two. Then I'd really look like a drunk.
 
PA is probably different from the rocks here in the west but I probably don't even burn 1 gallon an hour during trail rides.

I'm currently using the stock K5 31 gallon tank and it hasn't been below half full for more than a year, I simply don't use that much fuel even in a couple days of trail riding. I fill it up when I have the chance just to make sure I don't run out.

I'm still leaning towards switching to propane with two 10 gallon tanks, I foresee no problems (I will run a bigger tank on the trailer to fill between trails if needed).
