Not sure I aggree totally...I do like this can you are
talking about, but hard to find....
I have carried NATO fuel cans for years inside. totally
safe from fumage! you can store them on side or even UPSIDE
DOWN!!!!!  ;-) I know it's always best to have outside,
buuut! honestly a full one of these inside is safer than a
half-full one strapped on back or front in an accident!!!!!
I have one on it's side under the rear seat. the seat
doesn't fully close(by a 3/8" bit or so, but think can be
remmidied by repositioning, and people soitting pon it
never noticed...)  ;-) In my land'Rovers, I keep the
strapped down for safety in case of any incidents, and are
fully safe....the legality? hmmm! not sure....but what ever
is technically legal in our world anyway?
There is a smaller NATO can as well that is only ten litre
instead if you want to take less than six gallons with you,
but myself, I prefer to always be able to get to that next
fuel stop no matter where the heck I am, and a hundred
miles of gas can be purty handy....
