Amazon.com: NATO Style Jerry Can - 10L (2.5 gal.) - European Military Spec: Automotive

Ok.. the 2.5 gal fuel tank will not allow the tailgate to close.. if it were a couple investment shorter or more narrow it would work. But as it is... nope. Headed back to Amazon.

Going to find out..

4" at top and 8" at bottom. 2 gallon rotopax fits and 4 gallon, but 3 gallon is listed at 4.5" wide.

I've got a couple of he old style (well dad does) Koplin fuel pack we use to use on the 4 wheelers.. I believe they'll fit.

I'm going to look around town here and see what I can find. Not too optimistic.

The koplin are the same size as the 4 gallon rotopax I believe.

A little more gas and a little cheaper

This looks to be the same as JTW posted above. As pictured, fits with the tailgate up. Almost positive two will fit if put in at same angle as seat backs.

Nice. Is it 4 gallons? Name-brand? How much?

Stamped Pioneer Outdoor Products.
3.2 Gallon.
I've had this for 9 or 10 years. It was given to me for my 4 wheelers. Never used it.
I'll see if I can track them down.

Called number molded into tank, sold to Kolpin approx 10 years ago. Fuel packs are not listed on Kolpin site but found a number of them on Google search.

On ebay they sell bar clamps for rotopax but there a bit pricey

Well. This is what I came up with. Was having some sodas in the garage and saw the gas can from my sleds. So I built some brackets to mount them to the cage.

Not much of deal versus Amazon price.

It's not, but for me it is only a 15 minute drive vs 3+ days for shipping.

Check out the Kolpin site, they have several mounting brackets that look decent.
I don't think they would work with the old one I have.

Has anyone tried putting an additional tank under the drivers side seat?

I'm thinking a fuel cell like on a race car?
