Anyone got a 1.75US Gallon Rotopax (6.6 litre) up for grabs, with or without the mount?
Also, has anyone else found/used a cheaper alternative to the Rotopax that's as robust and leak-free? I don't need to mount it direct to the bike - it could go in a dry bag. Just need the option to carry extra fuel for my G310GS to increase the range.

Re: Rotopax fuel can
I recently bought a 2L "Fuelfriend" sturdy fuel container - very well made, German. I carry it with me on the Maxi-Scooter under the storage seat n case I get stuck, or even on the V-Strom.
Something like £14 to buy new, excellent quality, doesn't leak, I'd highly recommend it.

Re: Rotopax fuel can
I've used one of the knock off Chinese Rotopax copies without issue, about £25ish with a mount if memory serves me correctly

Re: Rotopax fuel can
Thanks for the replies. I did wonder about the cheap Rotopax copies - if they leak/are as robust as Rotopax. Might try one of those, or buy a couple of the recommend 2litre bottles.
