I need to carry about 20 gallons of gas to where I plan on going.
I dont have the time or money to build a swing out or anything fancy on the rear bumper. I am just going to build a simple rack attached to my Yakima bars to safely secure the fuel cells. I've carried my gas my entire life on the roof, I don't have any issues with it. Always just used the cheap-O plastic containers from Wal-Mart.
Question is this.. What are my options? So far I've seen the following options:
1) Cheap 5-6 gallon plastic gas containers...would like to get away from this.
2) $1million dollar Rotopax that only carry 4gallons...? Ripoff in my opinion for a plstic container.
3) Metal Jerry cans, about $45, awkward shape for roof carrying though.
4) Scepter cans, similar to Jerry cans -- Too high profile
Any other options you can give me?
I'm basically looking for a high quality made container that is low profile.
Thanks
