Yeah, but how often do you really have to put gas in your Land Cruiser! 
Lol. Try it you guys. I wanna know if it works for all of us.
And I do put a lot of gas in this thing. I've got an excel spreadsheet dating back to January 2011. It's a lot. Haha

Delete this notion.
After living with it for a bit, just too much of a pita to work with.
Re-purposed the bags as tarp carriers. Got a chair for Christmas that folds up small.
Next case.
Such simplicity!!! I tried it this morning on my 60.
Bill Gates said it best. He always liked to hire lazy people because they are the best at finding easier ways to do things.
Awesome!

Can you send some more pictures of both mounts? This is great!
There are no 'mounts' per se. Whatcha see in both pics is pretty much the whole thing.
I already had the bumper with the tire and can mount. I sat the small tank in the tire and stuck a piece of pipe at the top to keep it upright, then cinched down with the ratchet strap.
On the larger tank I put a stick (table leg) through the bottom of the can rack, zip-tied it in place, sat the tank on top and cinched it down with the strap.
Pretty high-tech. Just like my 'Cruiser.
The fuel cap trick works on my HJ61 also - good find ! I wonder if it was really designed for that...

Very nice! What size are those two tanks?
Worked for me too!! Excellent find!
I think there have been more follow-up posts on this gas cap thing than for just about anything else in this thread... really!?!?!?! This IS going to work for EVERYONE that has a stock gas cap... do we ALL really need to post about our success (and picture to prove it)? Too much chat in this thread makes it harder to comb through for ideas.

PS: It is a really cool find though....

Whoa, someone is a little testy this morning!! Relax man, jeez.
Got the idea for this one from another forum, so I can't take credit for being the original
$30+ for a Scepter spout? Nah. How about less than $10 worth of plumbing parts and a little good old fashioned ingenuity? This also lets me easily use an extra long hose so I can comfortably fill my heater's fuel tank without spilling (or having to pick it up and put it on a raised surface to prevent spillage).
