Carrying extra fuel inside truck

[MyHigh]

Oh and I did find the flammable range of gasoline.

The air to fuel mixture is 1.4-7.6% so any amount of gasoline vapor that is between those number will make for a bad day. Anything below 1.4 means the mixture is too lean and anything above 7.6 means the mixture is to rich and will not burn when encountered by flame.

I most certainly agree with you, there is always that chance of never making it home when we set out in our vehicles. On the off chance that we may encounter such a devastating accident that could rupture a can inside your vehicle it would most certainly make for a bad day. I for one can't stand the cheap plastic cans, therefore I spend maybe too much money for a NATO Wavian jerry can.

Now, it seems everyone is worried about an accident and the potential to be engulfed by flame, however, I think your attention should settle more on the health risk of breathing the fumes of gasoline. That to me has more potential to do harm then catching on fire.

Once again, with that being said, I'd rather be safe then sorry and recommend like mentioned earlier by another member that it would be best to carry an empty can till you reach a certain point that you know there is the potential to run out of gas.ainkiller:

Just doing my little 1 gal cans for mower & weed-eater it sticks up 4r & leaves gas smell . Would have to be top o the line carriers for inside IMO !!

Ultimately THATs the best reason I'm still driving my Tundra instead of a new 4R like my wife!

AND that's the reason it took me so long to buy a SUV instead of keep using my truck. I carry fuel in my bed with secure cover with no problems. While in Africa, we had to carry inside the Land Cruiser and depending on the quality of the can, it smelled really bad.. "Gas oil" of course.. but still..
