Carrying fuel safely off-road
A jerry can on the back or side of a vehicle adds range for long trips, but it also adds weight and movement. A holder that is solidly mounted keeps the can from shifting over rough ground, which protects the cap, the seams and the vehicle’s paint. Before loading a can, check that the mounting point is solid and that the holder bolts are tight, since vibration loosens fasteners over time.
Fuel should be kept in approved containers and never carried inside the cabin. Empty cans can still give off vapor, so store them outside and away from the engine bay. After a trip, inspect the holder for cracks in the welds, check the strap for fraying and make sure the can cap seals tightly before the next outing.
- Check the mounting point before each trip
- Inspect the strap for fraying
- Keep fuel out of the cabin
- Re-tighten holder bolts after rough trails
