Not needed after 30+ years of practical experience.  Have never run out; and in time it just goes bad, so some hassle for exchanging with fresh fuel.  Maybe if I went to Alaska....but that's not going to happen....mosquitoes the size of hummingbirds!  Not to mention all the front sheetmetal and paint damage and windshield too.  If I go to and from Alaska, it's going to be via a boat and airplane.

They of course have hoses which reach the gas cap. That way don’t have to bring them down to refuel. Alas, rarely will fuel station filler hoses *fill* said tanks while still up there.
