Carrying extra gas

VP Racing cans are nice.
Can gass up without spilling a drop.
Runs about 40 bucks apiece. For 5gal.

 

With the additional weight in gas, I wonder what the affect on MPG would be?

 

About the same as having a small adult in the truck, probably.

 

5 gal Tuff jugs with the Ripper valve is awesome , empties 5 gallons in 45 seconds !!!!

 

It's only about 10 gallons more than the stock tank, a gallon of gas is 6.3# - so its not much more. The new tank probably weighs a bit more but you're still probably under 100# total

 

Yeah. I decided i could deal with 2 Jerry cans and save $1800

 

Fixed it for you, unless gas is lighter than water

 

I feel like its only a matter of time until they have one that mounts in the spare tire location as an AUX tank like they do on the 4Runner. 20-30 gallons there would be nice.

 

It is lighter which is why it floats, a gallon of water is 3.8L, which is 3.8KG, and going back to lbs (x2.2) is ~8.36#

learn something new everyday. I thought it had to do with specific gravity.

 

SG of gas is .7something, so it still means it's lighter / floats

 

I'm running two of these for extra gas. This way they aren't sliding around in my bed. www.tacojerry.com is where I got them.
