Small portable gas can:

Follow the above link to see how I carry two gallons of gas for my Honda 2000 on my Northern Lite. The only challenge is finding 1 gallon cans that are less than 8 inches tall as with my removable step, that is the height between the top of the bumper where the gas can sits and the bottom of the removable step.

The OVERLAND TECH & TRAVEL web site just did a review of a new gas can that looks interesting:

Boat tanks have shape that is hard to fit.
Even having 2 of them on my boat, I prefer to have 1 + 2 cans.
This way my compartment will hold 15 gallons, instead of 10 or 11
That said - buying 5 gallons cans in US is big hassle as well.
I bought mine in Canada, with single hole having vent build-in the spout

That is exactly what I use.

I use two 5L NATO-style cans for generator fuel. Totally sealed. They are tough. I carry them in the generator compartment of the TC.

Similar to this but thinner and taller:

10L NATO can

I like the NATO military style cans, and there are many places that sell new and true surplus cans in many different styles. They’re rugged and leakproof, and the spout for the 20 liter cans can be used on the smaller sizes as well. The cap/spout gasket is replaceable.

In addition to Lexington Container above, there is also:

Atlantic British (Land Rover parts)

Wavian

Jerrycan.com

One place that your search engine may miss is Swiss Army Vehicles in Fayetteville, AR. They’re a distributor of European military vehicles, parts and surplus, and they have some of the best prices on jerrycans around. Click on the “Army Surplus” tab to find them.

When I bought my four cans several years ago, they were selling true NATO surplus cans at great prices. I’m in Fayetteville often enough that I could drop by and pick through their stock for the best ones. It looks like they’re selling new cans now, and you will have a hard time finding better prices. They do run out of them though, so you may have to watch their website for a while. It appears they have at least some to sell right now. If you’re in the area, drop by and you can also look at some of those cool military vehicles they sell.

I always carry a 20L can of Diesel fuel on the rear bumper of the camper. I have occasionally had to use it. I also need to carry a small can of gasoline for the Yamaha 1000 I always have with us, so I bought a 5L can from Atlantic British. That’s where I got the 20L can holder you can see in the picture below (just the black frame, the rest is repurposed material from my junk pile) and the spouts I’m using.

This is the can I use when traveling

Those are the only style cans we can use on the job and they last forever, unless they get run over, lol. But they're not a good solution for the spacially challenged camper, like myself and most with truck campers.
Actually the only good use for the newer ventless gas cans is camper generator gas, IMO.

Cheap gas can options of the metal flavor are used paint thinner/ lacquer thinner/ Coleman fuel cans. They're made to contain solvents.

Gas tank for an outboard engine in a boat?
