Reference: Carrying extra fuel in CMP on long trips.....

[Bob Carriere]

Hi Hanno

I find the Jerry cans awkward with out a steel support frame work and would require double stacking them ...drums save floor space. Steel drums at $5.00 each means they are almost disposable...... once empty they can be cut for a fire pit....or......flatten with the axe so as to leave nothing behind.

The type of abandoned old loggin roads can be very narrow from lack of use and installing any Jerry cans support externally is looking for problems..... and although I have seen suicide jockeys carry spare fuel tied to the front bumper or fenders...... I FROWN on that idea.

With both barrels near the center of the truck I can easily siphon gas directly from the drums into the truck side tanks....... and if I need to suck the last drop, will remove drums and handle physically.

Can hardly wait for Spring

O.k. I get it - I can hardly wait to read about your adventures with your CMP!
