Thread: Travel with a gallon of Gas
-
03-31-2021, 05:52 AM #11
Our Tundra has just a 26gal gas tank and I’ve often been tempted to bring along a gas can but can’t bring myself to do it for fear of a potential fire. I have a nice metal 5gal can with safety pressure release too.
What I do before traveling is spend time using a combination of google maps satellite view, Gasbuddy friendly RV stations, Love’s & Pilot Flying J locations, and this pdf I got from another forum, although I’m not sure how up to date it is:

Safe until they are not
It goes along with the lifestyle of a toy hauler
The op asked whether they should bring gas just in case. Some of us feel this is a bad idea
Yes landscapers and off roaders etc carry gasoline for the activity they are doing and it is necessary but still doesn’t mean it is safe to do so

I carry an extra 5 gallons of gasoline every time I camp. I always boon dock so I need it for my generators. I also like the idea of having a gallon or 2 to use in my truck if needed.
I store it in an approved gas can that is sealed, strapped down, under my tonneau cover in the bed of my truck. I have done this for the last 5 years with no issues (knock on wood).2019 2800bh

carried 5 gallons with us on our trip out west last summer from IN to Yellowstone and back. Glad we had it...combination of strong headwinds and couldn't get into a planned gas station ran us short and so I had to use it.

Yes, for my generator and it does double duty as emergency truck gas. In the back of the truck usually. The metal NATO style jerry cans are well worth the money. No smell, no leaks, no expansion and should last a lifetime. I usually use the smaller 10L (2.5 gal) version but I have a 20L too.
Alternately, I have seen "emergency gas" containers at auto parts stores. About a gallon I think. One time use container, supposedly safe to store in a trunk and synthetic gas that stays good. Expensive, but better than walking I suppose.Last edited by DarthMuffin; 03-31-2021 at 11:01 PM.

Yes, we've got a two gallon jug that fits nicely in the utility box in the truck bed, out of the sun. The gasoline is for the generator. One advantage of an 8 foot truck box is that we still have room for two jugs of diesel and the generator itself between the utility box and the hitch, all forward of the arc of the 5th wheel pin box.
Why two jugs of diesel? We don't carry them on every trip, and not always full, but there are some big gaps between fuel stops in some regions of the north and also in the event of a major power regional outage ... not uncommon during major thunder storms ... those 40 litres of fuel will easily get us another 200 kilometres (120 miles) down the road.2000 Jayco Eagle 243RKS 1992 Dodge 250 5.9 Cummins (retired)
