Then it sounds like this fab shop story could be BS:
(1) a Scepter can will not fit between the tire and the lift gate (it doesn't on my Husky carrier)
(2) moving can way out to the left (viewed from behind) with some bracket so that it clears the spare and is lifted above the handle obscures the left tail lights

I just don't think a traditionally-sized jerry can is going to work back there. Switch to something slimmer, which probably doesn't exist yet, and it might be workable.

Because I've got a single vertical post holding the spare, I could probably mount a pair of those [aforementioned] thin Kolpin ATV tanks on end on either side of the spare. But for 6.5 gallons of gas it hardly seems worth it.
