Gas can carrier

[dеiтайожни]

I need an external gas can carrier for my h3 and quick! Anyone think it would be safe to use a standard gas container and use a cargo strap to hold it to the rear bumper? Any other ideas?

There are gas stations on every corner down here. Why the need for an extra can?

I need gas for my lawnmower, and I don't want to get gas stink in the inside of the truck, yet.

Oh, I see. Never carried gas in the H3 but in past SUVs I just stuck it in the back and put the windows down.

Really sucked after hurricane Charlie, went and filled (6) 5 gallon gas cans for the generator. The closest place with power and gas was about 5 miles away and it was pouring out. About killed myself with the gas fumes driving back home

I just topped off my lawnmower & weedwacker cans & carried them inside the hummer. I just put it in the back and kept the windows down. No stinky smell

Why not get a gas can that doesn't leak?

You going into the landscaping business?

Gas cans strapped to the back of a H3 would be like driving an old Ford Pinto!

Because I didn't know they made those, I've had a lawn care company worry about that for me for awhile, so I'm a little out of it.

Yes, I serve the my yard area. Interested?

Anyhow, I didn't have much time, so I just bought 2 of those new-fangled containers, supposedly they don't spill. I trusted them, and they screwed me! Good thing I put them inside a rubbermaid container, so I think it's OK.

Now, I should probably work on the external carrier. I like the rear-end bomb idea, might go with that one. Thanks

Is the spare a problem though? I have not used my hitch carrier on the 3 yet but have used it to transport gas before, works great for that.

I carry 2 5 gal cans on top. They are the military "Jerry" style. I have the screw, airtight seals on them and carry horizontally. Up top I have 2 Thule bars with a 2X4 cradle for them. They are secured with 3 ratcheting tie downs which seem to do fine going down washboard at 40mph in Death valley. I am going to make a welded steel carrier for the roof for the cans, but would really like a rear mounted bumper option. As for putting them on the hitch post, that's fine if you are not going to be offroading. The departure would smash them up.

Good luck.

Hmm... The hitch carrier would probably be the quickest thing. I'll see what I can come up with at the store later. thanks
