here is what im using and love them https://www.surecanusa.com/

How does it not leak with the outlet on the bottom? They don't explain that on the website that I can find.

Another option would be a safety-style can. Eagle and Justrite are the big names. They come in type 1 and type 2 configurations.

I strongly recommended them. I primarily use a pair of 2-gallon Eagle type 2's for my lawn equipment - one for straight gasoline, and one for two-stroke mix. They don't seem to allow any fumes to escape, and they sometimes stay in my vehicle for up to 10 hours. These are all we use at work, too. They stay in the truck toolboxes all the time.

I think the roof rack idea is not a good plan. Sounds like it'd be a "pull me over" advertisement. You'd probably have other drivers calling you in, too.

I can attest to these. They're pricey but worth the money in the long haul.

I have the Justrite type I - 5 gallon. Not sure I would want my wife lugging it around in her car on a daily basis.

The Surecan product is very new to the market. I asked the manufacturer the same question a few weeks ago. They said that it has two viton o-rings. One to seal, and the second as a backup.

Jerry can all the way. No one has these retarded *** plastic pieces of **** anywhere else in the world. Jerry cans are proven and time tested. Buy a few extra seals. When they are shut, they are shut. We used to leave them in the passenger compartment in cars in Russia all the time. No smell, no leak. There are still places there where you will sure as **** run out of gas if you don't have a few of these in the car. You can store these upside down if you want.

The surecan looks like it is easiest to fill the lawn mower and small engines without spilling.
But I am sure the swivel needs to be rebuildable so the o rings can be replaced?
