I wouldn't carry gas in a plastic tank on any bumper.
I keep five plastic cans sitting in the barn. Its about 11 miles to the nearest gas station on county roads.
I usually fill three at a time and haul them behind the cab in the bed. In the summer I stop half way and let the pressure out of the tanks.
I forgot one trip and as I set them out of the bed I noticed they were almost round. One popped the small vent open and sprayed my leg/hip with gas.
I would use a steel jerry can approved for that purpose.
