To clarify this is what i'm looking for
And not thrilled with rotopax before even buying as I sent them an email this am asking for the measurement, by noon with no response called them and the woman said "oh ya I got your email but didn't respond yet, whats your phone number i'll find out and call you right back" No call today...talk about a great way to sell your product.

The calibration on my tape measure might be off. Im sure if you tell them what happened they give you a discount or something.
They were decent and gave me a military discount when I ordered from them.
Just measured both my new 4 gal. . One of them with fuel, mounted on factory mount is 17 7/16 . The other empty is 17 5/16 . They do expand and contract a bit with temperature, especially if they are not topped off with fuel. As with all plastic cans if there is airspace in the can they will tend to balloon . But due to Rotopax design and thickness they are not nearly as bad as other cans. One note , if you lock them down with the factory mounts and they expand with the heat of the day, it can make the mount tighter due to the pressure inside the can.
You might have had a little difficulty getting hold of them, but don't let that discourage you. I have found their customer service to be really good. Plus I feel they make a great product which is unsurpassed.

Looks like there site has a 25% off sale on 4 gal
Not sure I'd want that can mounted so low on the back of my truck. You get rear ended and that gas is going everywhere, not to mention fear of it igniting too. Would be safer in the bed of your truck.
