With all the break/fix posts, I thought I'd post something different. How is everyone refueling out on the trail?
I'd love to get a Long Range permanent fuel tank, but can't justify over $2k on it and I've been thinking about this since 2015. I used Wavian (jerry) fuel cans and I really hated holding it up for over 15 minutes with my California safe nozzle spout or 8-10 minutes with my open spout.
2 years ago, I ended up getting a sweet deal on a Titan Fuel tank that hangs off the spare tire carrier, but it was meant for Jeeps with a 5x5 bolt pattern wheels. The fuel tank's universal mount fits on the tire carrier, but I had to invert my Terrafirma mounting bracket to fit the fuel cell and I had to get a wheel adapter to change it from 5x5 to 5x120 to fit the LR wheel to the fuel cell. I modded the cap of the fuel cell to have a petrol chemical resistant tube that reaches the bottom of the fuel cell and a n-i-p-p-l-e up top to quickly attach a hose from the fuel pump. The fuel pump is wired up with a marine grade cigarette adapter that plugs into my switched cigarette adapter in the trunk.
Anyhow, this is what it looks like and how I fuel up 12 gallons in 12 minutes. https://www.instagram.com/reel/ClfDdT0pdz5/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
