portable gas tank above spare tire

[sonik]

Am I asking for trouble with this setup? It fits under there pretty well and with the spare tire up it should further keep it from popping out. It's plastic and empty, I figure if I run out of gas I can think about what I did (or didn't) do when I'm walking to the gas station

Maybe I could find a metal one similarly sized, fill it up, and secure it a little better.

Empty it's fine. However, I think the only place for a full gas container is on the roof, in a special holder on the bumper, or other wise secured well upright outside the vehicle.

I agree with Alec, Empty is fine, but having one full is asking for trouble.

Just a thought:

Fully empty, washed out it's fine. It is not ok down there if it still has gas residue in it. Then it's just a time bomb.

Good idea.

BTW Alec, the red text in your signature always trips me up when I'm looking through a thread with highlighted search terms in it. Not that I'm complaining... it's usually your post with the info I'm looking for anyway

How did she get to post pic if Sonik is not an Elite? I've asked this before but I can't find if someone had answered it.
