What kind of gas can do you carry, and where?

I carry a 6 gallon plastic extended run tank for my two twin Honda E2000i's. I also take along 4 2 gallon plastic cans. They are all stored in a black tub of the type sold at Lowe's for making small batches of concrete, and kept in the back of my truck which has a cap on it.

I need the extended run tank and extra gasoline because I do a lot of boondocking during football season, and other places with my friends.

I started a thread about my gas can mount project (it's in the boondocking forum -- I should have put it in Modifications). But the discussion broadened to a bigger issue. So rather than hijack my own thread, I am taking a bit of a survey, hoping to learn from everyone's collective wisdom.

I am sure that for all of us, safety is the first concern, followed by convenience and an aversion to the smell of gasoline fumes. Theft is also a concern.

So here are the questions: what kind of gas can do you carry for your generator? Plastic? Metal? Is it drip-proof? Are there specific brands that are particularly good?

And where do you transport it -- on the tongue of a trailer? In an open cargo bed of a truck? In a closed compartment (either a camper shell on a truck or a storage area in an RV)? On a bumper rack? On the roof? In the fridge? (Just wanted to see if you were still awake.)

Thanks in advance for your answers!
