Carrying gas cans

[Fpolanco]

After hours of trying to figure out what I could manufacture or buy to mount my Rotopax gas cans on the inside of my rack so they weren’t flat as in the original config below, it finally hit me to just ratchet strap them in for less than $20.

Not the most secure I guess, but if someone wants to go through the trouble to steal them, then I guess they’ll get stolen.

On a positive note, the upright storage as well as the traction boards mounted on the rack do seem to shade them enough that the swelling and leaking gas cap from melted gaskets has stopped entirely. So I got that going for me, which is nice.

love this!! The solution is usually the simplest!

I just took 2 wavian diesel cans though the rubicon both ways, got up to 7000ft, no issues.

My experience with Wavian has been flawless. As stated on an earlier page, i had a rotopax fail on me for no good reason (Wavian has experienced the same conditions without concern) and man, you don't want your fuel leaking out for so many reasons.

I'm actually hoping to come across some of the Scepter cans. I like the idea of super durable plastic. I did find a surplus store that sells them. Just wanted opinions before I pulled the trigger.

Thank you!

theres a company in Australia that makes a 17g saddle tank that mounts next to factory tank
