I have hard cap on the bed of my 2010 Pro 4X. I was thinking about carrying extra gas in a new steel jerry can. Would it be safe to do so? I wouldn't want a build up vapor creating an unwanted fire ball.

The jerry cans should be sealed. I don't see an issue with it. I have a cap on mine and wouldn't hesitate to take them along.

Jerry cans are safe...except when you shoot them - then they leak.

I have to ask, are you looking to carry a few cans at all times or are you just planning for a camping trip or long haul or etc....

Try to avoid containers with the new CARB spouts.. They suck!

It is a new can with the standard fill spout. I will use when four wheeling and camping.

I have a cap that occasionally goes on my truck and I don't think I would ever put a gas can of any sorts in the back. Supposed to be in an open area. A tray for the back of the truck like a receiver tray would be a good place for em' too plus allow you to carry more stuff. Just sayin', do your thing though.

I would not, and I take plenty of crazy chances. That cover will act as a fume retainer just waiting for you to open and have any spark near by. Remember the fumes are way worse then the fuel itself.

Thanks for all the replies. I have decided not to carry the can in the enclosed bed. Safer since I smoke.

Here are a few ways to mount the cans in the bed.

You mean they don't immediately blow up with flames shooting hundreds of feet in the air and stay on fire indefinitely? No way.

And yes the CARB cans suck. All of them. Can't even buy anything with the traditional spout anymore.

The new one I bought has the traditional spout.
