    Default Flexible Gas Container/Tank/Bladder for Stowing in Tight Spaces?

    My google searching didn't turn up what I was looking for, but maybe I suck at google.

    I'm looking for a gasoline container that I can stow away in my vehicle to fill up unused space. Any size up to 5gal would be ideal.

    I'm picturing something like this: http://www.rumrunnerflasks.com/ but for gasoline.


    Edit: i just found this by using different search terms, and it is pretty much what I'm looking for, but I want something smaller without spending hundreds of dollars... Does anyone make such a thing?

    $325??

    Definitely not in my budget, and 14.5 gal is too big to handle.

    Maybe I didn't describe my needs well, but I need something that I can pull out and use to refill my vehicle's main fuel tank when needed (generally only in an emergency or to rotate the fuel out to prevent it from "going bad")

    How about this? I was reading that a lot of Alaska Bush Pilots use these for fuel.

    What "extra space" did you have in mind exactly?

    There is a bunch of wasted/available space all over my Xterra: under the back seats, under the back floormat, on the sides of the back floormat, in the roof storage box, in the roof rack... There are lots of places to tuck away some extra fuel and other goods, but they are all irregular shapes.

    Last time I sat on top of a gas tank in a vehicle I was in the TC seat in a HMMWV.

    That's what I thought. Are you comfortable with having an unsecured, soft sided fuel tank inside the passenger compartment?

    You really dont want to store gas inside your car. The smell, the risk of leak/fire a collision accident, and so on.
