$70 to $80 beats the heck out of $300 = for an Ortec carrier and since I have the syncro tank, my range should be a little = farther than the 2 wd vans. I could also carry a regular gas can in the = luggage rack for any stretches that might seem worth temporarily carrying that = much extra.

I'll give this a try.

Thanks for the info.

Jeanne,

In September 1997 I bought one of these emergency gas = cans from Griot's Garage in Washington (800-345-5789). Even though it wasn't = listed in their catalog (nor is it now on their web page: http://www.griotsgarage.com/ = ), they had them in stock. It's well made but rather expensive, in the = $70-$80.00 range if I recall correctly. Also it's capacity is 6 liters (1.59 gal.) which in my case will only get me another 28 to 30 = miles further down the road.
