Krabby… don’t know how you come up with them but between the pics and the 1 liners you crack me up!

That was a good watch!
And you blokes in Europe have been complaining about the big arsed bumpers you have to have on the IG, without fully appreciating the value add they provide besides somewhere to have your tea and bickies after a hard day in the Cotswalds.
And the Leyland brothers stored their oil in the bumpers; now there's a thought for the northerners.
I agree, it would be good to be able to fit something like this
Have you considered a fuel bladder such as the giant loop armadillo. It can be strapped down in various configurations and when not in use can be rolled up into a smaller form factor so it takes up less space.

The armadillo was designed to hold fuel, but in the USA there is some EPA or regulatory constraints that prevent them from claiming it as fuel storage device (hence the disclaimer with a wink and nod undertones). I think it has to do with it being a flexible bladder as apposed to a ridged container. In the majority of the world they can call it a fuel container but in USA they cannot. It is not for potable water storage, if you want water storage options look at their cactus canteen water storage products. Giantloop is a USA company and considered to be a well regarded company in the motorcycle community. They have several YouTube videos showing them storing fuel in the armadillo and running over it with a motorcycle several times to show it is durable and safe. I am not affiliated with the company, but I can attest to the quality of their products. Best to talk to them if you have concerns about your particular use case and its suitability for you.I know nothing about this company, and googled it because it seems like a cool idea. I've got no dog in this fight. The company seems to be out of Bend, Oregon (or maybe that is just the American distributor for a company based elsewhere), so I found this paragraph on their website (below) a bit counter-intuitive to the apparent intended use:
Armadillo Bag is not a portable fuel container as described by ASTM, EPA, ARB or other state and federal agencies. Armadillo Bag is NOT intended for fuel storage, transport or use as a gas bag in the USA. Armadillo Bag liquid power reservoir utility bladder is not a food-grade product, so we do not recommend its use for potable drinking water without filtration.
Are they saying - use the fuel bags at your own risk, and face any legal consequences on your own, because we are not selling these fuel bags as fuel bags?
When it comes to the water bags, there are multiple options for water storage that are made from food-grade plastic (Rotopax, among others), so again, its a rather surprising disclaimer. It is true that you cannot roll-up a Rotopax, but I'd rather carry a Rotopax and drink out of it, then carry a water bag and have to filter the water before drinking. The water bag would be good though, for washing dishes, or taking a quick shower.

Hello. where can I find the Jerry can holder mount plates? I went to you website but could not find it. Thank you.
And yet some idiot - using a proper fuel can - pours gasoline from it into his home fireplace - blows up house, there’s a tragic death involved, a he sued the can maker. AND WON. The judgement said that if the can had a flame arrestor it would not have blown up. Perhaps. But being smart enough to know you shouldn’t pour gasoline into a fire inside your home would have prevented the tragedy too.
Sure, but who then assumes the liability? The consumer.
The results of using something incorrectly or foolishly should be on the consumer, not manufacturers. The Blitz story is interesting because at the time that particular fuel can met regulations.
Hey Krabby,
Ahhh. Didn’t read carefully enough. (I’m distracted ATM) but I totally agree with that too. It’s just a shame that in the US, stupidity fuels our litigious society and somehow the idiots manage to win.
Who produces this? I feel like I missed some context here - I don't see a company, manufacturer, or product name.
