I picked up one of these from Machinemart. Undecided if I'll actually take it on the trip, but nice to have options!

If the steel fuel container ruptures in an accident inside the car (assuming it's fixed down), I doubt you will actually be in any condition to care.
Like vehicle spares on overland trips, if you have it with you it will never be required, you only need the parts you don't carry. So fill it and take it, you won't need it then.:laugh:

Ha ha. I have definitely needed the extra fuel. We did a 1100km stretch in Botswana with no fuel stations. We carried an extra 100l of fuel on the outside of the vehicle. This was on my Gen 3. I'll find a pic and post it here.
