I think I used the search terms: "Spare Tire" "Gas Can" (and "Gas
Tank") on eBay to find mine. There is an old VW one on sale right now
(at what I think is a ridiculously high price):

There is also a Mercedes 190 can:

Be sure to check what diameter wheels they are intended for. I bought
a tank intended for a BMW with 15" wheels and it fit perfectly. I have
no idea if the tanks I mentioned on eBay will fit, nor do I have any
assocation with them. If you are interested in the items contatc the
seller not me.
