so those tanks slide and lock on plasric rails? do they get froze cause seems to me as soon as ur riding on a real cold day they would freeze and u wouldnt be able to get the tanks off
That's exactly why you buy the PLASTIC gas can rails. They are made of the same stuff as plastic skis and hold up very well with no snow sticking.
The metal rails................ do exactly as you say.
I think they still have their 10% off sale going.
If not, PM freeagent and she will save you at least that much off of the retail price.

I just got the rack off an 07 M to put on my 09 m8. they look the best IMO
On my 09 M I just got 4 1" stainless steel U-bolts and mounted them to the tunnel spaced appropriatly to accept the 10L fuel can. I got a stylish rubber mat to glue to the tunnel so it doesn't get all marked up. This system is lighter than everything else out there, easy to install (just don't drill through the coolers) is very low profile and doesn't look bad at all.
I will do the same thing with my 2010 as well.

Could always bend one up out of 1 1/2 aluminium
i hate to say it but i wish cat would do something like the xps have stock so u just buy a cat tank thats made for it cause ski doo has a pretty bad a$$ setup maybe ski doo should have put more engineering in the sled cause they suck ba!!$
checked out the craiggersystem it was nice lookin ne one use it
just wanted to know if ne one ne thing bad to say about the mountain addictions gas rack
Last winter I saw a rack system where the gas tank had a loop in the bottom and the rack had a rod that secured the tank to the sled. If you pulled the rod out it released the tank. Does anyone know who makes this system???
I use one of these by VMI.

Here are a couple of pictures of my Mountain Addiction gas rack on my 09 M8 SP. The sled is still in storage and dirty but, you'll get the picture. 
They offer about a dozen different color gas cans with the rail molded into the base so you can color match your sled if you like.

With that thin metal on the tunnel of the '10 M8 I think the mountain addiction would add a little support. With the others I think a person would need to add a little support under the gas can.
