I'm with you, Lewis. A Sigg or similar backpacker's fuel bottle is bombproof. I have one in the boat now, just in case I need a little extra fuel to get home. Actually, we use the trolling motor most of the time when motoring, which is very rarely!

I tried the oil container for spare gas route and didn't like it. When it gets hot the bottle expands and leaks, contaminating the cabin and whatever it's close to. What I've ended up doing is I bought a backpacking fuel bottle. They're made to carry fuel, are metal, won't leak (therefore no smell), and are a nice size for carrying in the cabin. Cost about $10. A little steep, but a one time thing. I highly recommend it.
