This is a review I did on a ATV forum but I figured it may be helpful here as well since these are great for Xterras too!

RotopaX (http://www.rotopax.com/) by GREAT Outdoor Products LLC markets flat fuel pack systems which in my opinion are a must have item for the serious ATV enthusiast.

2 Gallon Gas Pack

The 2 gallon gas pack (http://www.rotopax.com/2-gallon-gasoline-kolpin-kolpin-atv-accesories-fuelpack-fuel-pack-atv-utv-ga-c-1-p-1-pr-68.html)has dimensions of 17 3/4 L x 13 1/4 W x 3 H. This gas pack is rock solid with NO leaks. Thats right! It DOES NOT Leak. Do wheelies or roll over or whatever and it will NOT leak!

The spout made it very easy to fill up with no issues what so ever with leaking while filling up. First time I used the pack the gasket broke but I ordered replacements and those have been excellent and have not broken. RotopaX (http://www.rotopax.com)warranties theirs gaskets. You can get replacement gaskets here. (http://www.rotopax.com/warranty/gaskets.php)

Mounting The RotopaX

For mounting the RotopaX (http://www.rotopax.com) packs you can either use velcro available from Rotopax (http://www.rotopax.com). The velcro does not wear out and is very strong.

Or you can get their universal rack mount. This mounts the pack very quickly and is very secure.

Durability Test

Durability sets RotopaX (http://www.rotopax.com) WAY ahead of its competitors. There are several differences between RotopaX (http://www.rotopax.com/) products and conventional fuel and water containers. One of these differences is the use of rotational molding versus blow type molding. By using the rotational molding process RotopaX (http://www.rotopax.com/) is able to produce a much more durable container which is less prone to color fading and most importantly leak proof.

Don't believe that its VERY durable and leak proof? Well we decided to run the pack over with a 5000lb truck to give it a little bit of a out of the ordinary test to test its true durability. Check the video out to see how it fairs.

Overall Thoughts Of These Products
These RotopaX (http://www.rotopax.com) products every ATVer should own. They will stand up to any abuse you throw to them. They are without a doubt the toughest fuel and emergency packs on the market. These will last you for decades without a single leak!

the saftey kit it cool, how much did the split case and rack mount run you? I can't imagine holding it down with just velcro.

The velcro is actually really tough. But I agree. the rack mount is 10000X better.
