Had not even given this any thought. Our KW t600 we use to tow our 5th wheel. Holds 470 gallons of fuel. Has 4 fuel tanks on it. But then again there hidden behind the side panels.

I wouldn't bet on a box full of 6 gallon cans at our crossings Niagara Falls or Buffalo. I believe two is OK . You can have an auxiliary tank for Diesel not gasoline.

I must say on my last trip south in my truck, which had a load, but no trailer, I made it from Anchorage to Core de Lane Idaho without buying any fuel. Made it in 64 hours.

That must be some tank

Around Calgary area, before the oil market tanked, every other pickup on the road had a big fuel tank in the bed with a pump on it.
Simply not an issue carrying extra fuel.

If Canada will let people cross the border with a trunk full of loaded 6 gallon gas cans, you won't have any trouble

I've driven back and forth to Alaska a couple of times with a big red 110 gallon tank in the back of my truck they couldn't miss seeing and there's never been a question about it.
