    I'm planning a trip to the mountains in November and considering the chances of bad weather, I want to have plenty of fuel. I've never carried extra fuel before. What is the best way to do this? Thanks

    Cheapest way to do it is to strap a few 5 gallon cans into the bed. Not the most space efficient or coolest way, but it is the cheapest and easiest. There are all kinds of cool fuel can carriers on bedracks and whatnot. Someone will be along to detail that option I'm sure.

    You can buy them for $100 each on eBay. As much as I like the MWC and think the MFC is probably just as awesome I'll probably just stick with replacing the cap on the cheap-o EPA easy spill cans and a super siphon.
