Frank,
As far as I remember all the previous cautionary hub bub was regarding using
a cheap plastic gas 'can' inside the spare tire that would slide around and
was subject to either puncture or abrasion or poping open due to internal
pressures... a very bad situation right near the radiator fan.

Your can seems like a much better bet.
