I know there are folks who do it, but do you really think it is smart to
store gasoline in an environment that can get to 220F or higher? Imagine
how well that fan can spray the gas around if some thing happens.

I am finding my spare tire useless now that I have 15 inch rims and
tires. I seem to recall a tire shaped gas can that can go in this place
?

Anyone know where I can find this gem ?

Jason,

Check out http://www.telusplanet.net/public/gary2a/vw.htm

I have his rear hatch rack with ladder and gas can attachment and
couldn't be happier.

I used it to carry bikes during camping trips and mountain bike rides.
