RotopaX Gas Can Mounting Pictures (please)

How did you attach it to the front? That's a good idea!

Where did you score the spare tire mounts?

C'mon, you can't post pictures like that with no details. Who makes it, how much, how does it mount? I have to know!

I'll be using these when I have my roof top tent in use. Normally I mount my Rotopax on the roof rack.

If you are one who dislikes the "new" spouts sold with fuel cans...
I've taken to just sticking a Super Syphon in and fueling that way...

Mounted to my Frontrunner roof rack. I plan to put another set of fuel cans up there eventually.

I have mine on the roof rack but am I the only one that finds using the standard mounts to be a pain, literally? I tighten it down as hard as I can trying to get the lock to seat over the nubs and as soon as it clicks in I find it's still not tight enough. In hindsight I should've bought the deluxe mounts but I ended up using a ratchet strap. I think I'm going to make my own mount similar to the battery hold-downs using angle iron and a couple of J hooks.

I don't have a closeup pic of them but they're on the right, two 3gal fuel cans stacked on top of each other. The one on the left is a 1gal lawn mower gas can I brought along for good measure as we were traveling through Death Valley and there was no gas for our 2.5 days trek.

No, you're not the only one. I think anyone that uses them for any length of time quickly learns that they need some extra help in getting them tight enough. After my first trip, I whipped up a tool that I carry in the door pocket of my truck to release the dogbone. A pair of Channelocks works fine too.

Picked up the spare tire mounts from Dennx. Had to mount them high so I wouldn't cover the brake lights or interfere with the tire swinging all the way out

Can anyone tell me how far apart the two mounting points are on a 4 gallon or 2 two gallon packs clipped together?

If you are referring to the center-line distance between the mounting holes, I will measure tonight when I get off work.

Yes exactly thank you

Rotopax mounting



Its hard to see in the picture but I have three mounted to my Aluminess Box. One on each side and one mounted between the box and the tailgate.

Great looking rig. Well thought out!
