My linq lasted 3 rides. Running up the trail up to frisbie it broke off a km before the cabin. Didn't hit anything and trail was freshly groomed. The little handle you turn that locks it in broke. Haven't talked to dealer about replacement yet

Had them. Work awesome. Never came off on me except one time I rolled my sled an they hit a stump knocked them clean off so ditch them at the cabin if you plan on doing some logging

2 out of 3 on our sleds broke. Tried to take them off and fuel the sleds when it was cold. Barely pulled the lever and they snapped clean off. Not to impressed

Weird. I have the bag and can. I usually dump the gas can once up top. The storage bag stays on all day. 10 beers. Water. Tools. Saw. Flashlight. Tow rope. Lots of weight in mine and no problems. 950 km so far. Maybe I should also strap it on for back up

I picked up a new 800 E teck this year and looked at all the cans out there, Then was told that with the E teck you don't need a can, Been to Valemount twice this year and have never come close to needing fuel, Just a thought

How long was your gas light on? Mine went on in the alpine and then I drove down from chapel creek. About 32km. Didn't run out but I bet I was close

I was riding at a little hideaway spot. Similar long ride in as Chappell. My light was on around 30 km. I would guess you would have been super close to empty

ive only run out of fuel once, but I rode the piss out of her all day. As for the old style fuels caddy, ive never had a problem with it, never had it fallen off, or anything. My only complaint is that its tough to pour, but not a huge deal really.
Suck to hear the new fuel caddys are failing.... but I find the # reason for failure in the mountains is poor maintenance and installation before you head out. I do a once over me sled before every trip and look at almost every bolt to ensure nothings is coming apart on me....

its not the quality of install thats failing on the linQ, its the plastic on the can itself breaking. the tab that locks in under the hook you drill and bolt on to the tunnel is what is breaking.
