It's a more accurate way of measuring how much gas is in a tank.

Just taking an average 10L Jerry can off Amazon. Apparently, it weights 367g

If we weight the can with an unknown amount of gas in it, we can get the weight of the gasoline. Subtract the weight of the can, convert the weight to volume, and you have the amount of gas you have.

So, as an example:

We measure the canister with an unknown amount of gas to be 2.58kg

Subtract the 0.03kg from the canister to get 2.55kg

Convert weight to volume and we get 3.4L

While for a plastic Jerry can it's less useful, but it would be great for a steel canister. It's not super accurate, but it's better than picking it up and guessing.

In theory, you could carry around jugs of gas for ICE cars.

Especially with a large pickup truck, you could carry quite a few of these cans. There is no way to do that with spare batteries at the moment. Plus as you note, the charge time is too long.


This is however a good argument for PHEVs.

I completely agree. I have stopped buying those shitty gas cans. I now buy these. Way better in my opinion. All around built better too.

I haven't done much long trips, but if you have a few smaller gas cans like these: https://www.amazon.com/Midwest-Can-2300-Gas-Capacity/dp/B000QDHENM/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1483153569&sr=8-9&keywords=2.5+gallon+gas+can, you can set a few in your roof rack basket and run a strap through the handles to hold them in place. I haven't done this with my Xterra, and need to make sure my cans will fit in a way I like, but it's how I used to carry extra fuel in the roof rack of my Grand Cherokee.

Find a Napa (franchise) or hardware store and look for a "utility jug". They are amazing

Example

What about some kind of saddlebag setup in the back that holds a jerry can on each side? I'm thinking a jerry can bracket might do the job.

That's really not a bad idea. They make portable gas cans that are meant to be carried on a bike. link

One gallon wouldn't be much in a car, but on a bike, that's quite a bit.

Why didn't you just get this? http://www.amazon.com/Kolpin-Fuel-Pack-Junior-Mount/dp/B003UZ05CA total cost $40.

Strange, I always thought blue was for potable water, I'll take a second look before drinking anyone from Ohio's camping water!. Anyway, here's a link to an Ohio safe red one. https://www.amazon.com/VP-Racing-Fuel-3012-Red/dp/B003TTPHLQ

If the landlord got the mower, do they pay for fuel? have you asked them about a can? Is it in the lease that you are required to mow?
