Theft is not a concern for me, I guess I'm trusting or ignorant.
I use Eagle brand steel safety cans. Ventless, thick steel, with a heavy spring loaded "cap" and lever system. 6 gallons I think? Short trip, one can, long trip, two cans. They're also reserve fuel for the truck should I miscalculate a fuel stop.
Only downside, the way the funnel attaches around the neck, rather than a pour spout. It's not convenient to remove, so it gets left on, and fills with debris. Also not long enough to easily fill a vehicle, but works great for generator, mower, etc.
I have twin Yamaha 2000s, but they do not support extended run. Haven't added a fuel pump, maybe some day. Don't often run both unless it's very hot and I'm boondock.
