Like many of us, I only have the standard 15 gallon fuel tank on my Scrambler. I am also running a very thirsty Chevy 350. My fuel gauge works most of the time, but not all of the time.
I feel the need to carry around a gas can when I take the Scrambler our just to make sure that I don't run out of gas and get stuck (even though I have run out of gas AFTER putting 5 gallons of gas from the gas can in it).
I currently have a 2.5 Gallon Roto-pax gas can. The plus side is that it is thin and doesn't take up much room. I have a custom mount in the bed for it and a Roto-pax tool box that works pretty well. There is one problem though. Last year, I left it full and forgot to go let the pressure out and the damn thing expanded so much that it cracked the tool box to the point of being almost useless (I have since replaced the tool box).
I used to have a mil-spec plastic Scepter jerry can that I could leave full and it had a venting system to let out excess pressure. I unfortunately sold it with my last Scrambler, so I don't have it anymore. I could buy another one, which seem VERY pricy right now, or I could go for a steel can that would probably take more pressure without needing to vent.
So what are you all running with on your rigs if you have one? Do you only store fuel in it on special trips or do you leave gas in it all the time? How do you have them mounted?
I know there is a bunch of interesting stuff on this forum, so I would love to know what you got!
