+1. During one one of my annual summer desert trips to Nevada in the late '80's, I went almost 550 miles offroad, although I probably crossed a few paved areas. I had the now defunct Auxillary Fuels Systems 15 gallon aux fuel tank in my '85 Nissan pickup and filled both tanks when I refueled in Winnamuca, NV.
This is one reason my current '85 4runner has the 17 gallon OEM tank, a 26 gallon aux fuel tank (NOS Blazer diesel tank) and I carry at least one 5 gallon jerry can in addition.
This is about as remote as it gets in the lower 48:
