About the round gas can that can be stored inside the spare tire: No big loss. They're too dangerous for the vanagon anyway. The heat from the radiator heats up the gasoline in the can, and when you open the can, the gas squirts in your face and everywhere. Can be very dangerous, if one doesn't think about it. Seen it happen to a friend who has one for his vanagon. Now he keeps the round gas can on the roof rack. However, those cans are well made, very strong metal, and sealed very tight. At least the ones that came from Germany. Harald '90 westy Frank wrote: > Nope, > Used to, dropped them last time I checked. > Frank Grunthaner |
