Subject:Roof rack suitable (low profile) gas can?
From:Mark Hersh

We are going to take an extended camping trip in the van and I've been
thinking of putting the Coleman stove and the extra fuel on the roof
rack to minimize the chance of a gas smell inside the van.  Anyone
know of a one gallon fuel can (probably plastic) that is low enough
not to stick above the roof rack line?  That's about 3.5 inches.

I could get four 1-liter aluminum fuel bottles but those are about $12
each and I was hoping to do better.

The stove is higher than that so I might just pull the tank/generator
out of the stove box and let it ride up there in a small bag.

Thanks

Mark
