Carrying extra fuel

Midway Auto Supply, http://www.midwayautosupply.com/ in the US sells a Wedco 10 liter Jerry can that works extremely well on a motorcycle and doesn't leak after you drop it more than once. I have used them on both my trips to South America, and just filled them up when I thought I would need the extra gas.

here is a link to the can http://www.midwayautosupply.com/p-32546-wedco-25-gallon-red-metal-j-can-for-gas-80710.aspx

Then there was the time I was standing by the side of the road out of gas in Southern Chile waving my empty can at passing motorists, 8 KM from the next service station.
