I haven't seen these before, not real cheap but look very useful and low profile. Mounting hardware is pretty good....but a few dollars. I can see myself picking up a 4 gallon can and trying it out.

They are not cheap but they are very good. A few guys on ExPo have them and have been impressed. Handle falls without breaking, even when strapped to a motorbike, and dont leak fumes when inside a vehicle.

8) These are the cats pyjamas. I just have the 1 gal (only comes in US measurement) as my bike gets darn good mileage as long as I keep the speed down. It attaches to the rack at the back of my bike and is lockable. And low profile enough that I can stack all my camping gear on top. It doesn't leak one bit. Very robust product. There is a fellow in Abbotsford that has an ATV shop that sells them. A little pricey, however a good usefull fuel cannister. You cannot go wrong with these.

Well I think there is a pretty good safety factor here that is worth paying a bit extra for.

Not saying that other folks Jerry cans set ups are not safe, in fact there are some pretty good set ups in the club.

As soon as I get a little more OT banked I hope to have one for this year.
