Extra Gas in a Can

We have been known to carry extra fuel when evacuating during a hurricane.
We used 5 gallon low profile boat tanks & carried in the open roof rack

If we had to evacuate like that, I would be transporting as much fuel as possible in all the approved containers I have around the house.

But that is a very unique situation, not the standard for vacationing.

It would be very safe to carry a brand new never-used cheap plastic gas can. This way you can better help yourself, avoiding safety concerns including issues with fumes.

Those cheap plastic gas cans are some of the most unsafe things around, IMO. I won't go near them at home or in the RV. I don't know how they manage to sell some of them and not get sued. I have yet to see one that doesn't vent off fumes when it gets hot.

I agree with you Dakzuki, but I was referring to carry a "Virgin" gas can that has never been used. I surely don't recommend going on vacation with gas fumes in those cheapie things, let alone liquid gas.

Just donate it to the gas station you filled your rig up at, good for the next unfortunate soul walking in asking for a gas can.
