Sometime ago someone suggested using 1 quart oil containers as spare gas containers.
The idea is:
Small size - easy to store
Light weight, while holding it during refueling. 1/4th the weight of a gallon container!
Easy to pour into the Honda gas cap opening - a one handed operation.
............and whoever wrote in was saying it works nicely in rough weather too...........
I have been using the one quart bottles for spare fuel for the Honda, and it works nicely, though I can't comment on rough conditions use.

Good idea. You could match the capacity to the tank size, thus not have to worry about overfilling-just put it all in. I think I'd still keep the fuel out of the cabin, though. After all, oil containers weren't designed to hold fuel, and a rupture could be catastrophic. Steve Tyree, P-15 #2098 "Amy Ann"
