    G'Day again George,
    I usually settle for storing the jerry can inside the vehicle, after 
all I am sitting on a tank in any case. As you say, one jerry can should 
do it for your trip.
    I am surprised that Tony Cammage has not had something to say about 
fuel. their Canning Stock Route trip last year required that they 
carried about 200 litres of fuel each. Add spares, oil, water, food, 
clothing, tent etc. and an 80" is farly well loaded by that stage.
    One of the other problems encountered here is that jerry cans on a 
roof rack frequently get very hot, even up to the boiling point of 
petrol. The pressure built up inside the cans prevents them from 
actually boiling until you open one, best done on the ground and well 
away from anything combustible.
