Hi.
I carry several Plastic when we go away.
2 x water 2 x diesel
What I've done is get a length of light carpet runner (staircase width.)
one cut length on floor of ute. with other zig zagged between the containers
and them standing on bottom piece.

A strap round them keeps 'em contained and no rubbing going on.
Worked for 50 yrs so far. metal and plastic.
(and I think it's the original piece of carpet too... Chuckle.)

I just bought my LST delivered in May 16 ordered with a 124 L long range tank but on future long trip outback and around OZ will still be carrying 2 x 20L plastic just to provide that extra distance and a better feeling of security. Will have a 20' Caravan in tow so extra fuel will ease the mind.
Cheers

As a new mux owner and my 1st diesel, could anyone advise on whether these jerry cans have any condensation, and if so how do you avoid it.
I seem to see a lot of articles on water in diesel engines and so would like to be alert to any such problems.
thanks mickeymac

Water must come from air in jerry cans..so the basic way is to fill the jerry can until full. Put the cap, so there is very minor qty air trapped inside the jerry can.
To certain degree, the separator is able to catch water cobtain in diesel fuel. No worries.
Diesel engine is not as fragile as that.
