A buddy of mine w/ a svx powered syncro westy pointed me to; www.atvoutfitters.net/fuel_pack.htm for a 27" x 14" x 2.5" rigid plastic fuel pack that fits flat in the westy luggage carrier nicely, will support 800# on top of it, holds 3.28 gals, is ventless, & you can stack them on top of each other for more fuel, etc. They also have 'em for water. A little pricey at $71.96, but sits below the top of the luggage rack for that no wind resistence, sleak, clean look we all strive for? FWIW, Tom
