I've found the Wedco cans with the nato style cap seal the best, by far, of any gas can I've used. I've never had a whif or hint of fuel spill or vapor and I carry these cans inside all of my vehicles.

I purchased a couple of Scepters and after one leaked like crazy, they're nothing more than garbage taking up space in my garage, now. The water can version of the Scepters work nicely though. I've heard good things about Scepters, but I also know mine isn't the only one to leak, so it's just not worth the risk to me.

I normally carry three 2.5 gallon Wedcos in various places to help spread the load out. 7 gallons is not much, but it's a decent amount for emergency gas. At least 75-110 extra miles.

I really like the 2.5 gallon cans, because the smaller size is easier to store in different places, doesn't slosh around as much and is MUCH easier to fill the tank with.

I have carried as much as four of these 2.5 gallon cans on my roof rack, but the roof rack has since gone bye-bye in an effort to improve fuel economy.

Carrying inside is never recommended, but you do what you gotta do.
