Fuel storage option...

Found this through my "net meanderings"...

i've been looking for a water/gas storage solution
to keep the weight low and presence minimal

look around a bit, there's lots of neat ideas based on an ATV's limited storage area.


i'm thinking i could mount one of the 4 gallon water/gas containers right on the side of the jeep and it would stick out no further than the fender flares.

also, one would easily be able to mount this to interior/exterior truck bed- sides, or on top of a bonnet/hood.

advantages i see...

1. keeps the COG low
2. would be removable stowable when not in use, leaving only the mounting brackets
3. would keep water/gas very available @ camp or on the trail


disadvantages
1. if mounted on the sides of a vehicle-susceptable to narrow trail "rubbing" and damage.

here's the mount that you could use when mounting to a bedside or the side of my jeep or the hood/bonnet area.


looks like about $40-80 bucks for the container depending on size and
about $20-30 bucks for the mounting brackets.

VERY NICE!! I like that idea a lot. Once I FINALLY get bigger tires for the WJ I won't be able to keep my spare in the stock spare well, so I've been looking at ways to utilize the space for water/air/something. This might atleast give me a good solution to the fuel situation and sort the rest out.
