2 Liter Jerry Can
This is a burst proof plastic canister, thoroughly tested by the strict German safety authority TÜV. It is approved for gasoline storage and features a manual pressure relieving cap and handy pouring spout. The capacity is 2 liters (over ½ gallon) and it can really save the day if you come up short on your range calculation. The integrated strap loop offers a sturdy attachment point for keeping the can upright. We recommend attaching the can to the exterior of your saddlebag. The U-Brackets available under the Related Products are ideal for this purpose. A minimum of four brackets are needed. Six are however highly recommended if rough terrain is where you are headed. The strap, also available under the Related Products, is also ideally suited. If you are using 4 brackets, one strap per can should do the trick. When using six brackets however, we suggest two straps.
The can measures 3 X 5 X 8-1/2 and the spout protrudes about 2 from the top surface.
Not DOT or CARB approved.

Since my GSA gas tank is over 8 gallons, I use this for extra water when I’m out in the desert or bike camping. I lash two 1 liter Smartwater bottles the front of each Pannier and put one of these on the back of each. I mainly use these for washing off and doing hygiene at the end of a days ride. I’ve thought about putting gas in them before, but I just use a 1 liter MSR fuel bottle for that if needed. Having places to mount these, plus Smartwater/MSR fuel bottles has been my technique for years.

I purchased one of these cans and for what I wanted it is very well suited. True you must use a funnel to fill but I wanted something that I could store in my side case that would give me 25 to 30 miles for unplaned fuel shortage,and only that. Not for planned range but for un-planned or un forseen events. It requires very little space and provides for that little extra distance when needed. Perfect for me. High quality!

I was hoping to mount these on the rear of my Jesse Odyssey bags, but they're just a bit too big. And the tiny opening requires use of a funnel to fill them, so they're pretty much for emergency use (but that's why I bought them). They don't leak, so I have no problem packing them into the saddlebag where I keep my tools / electronics / cameras.
