I found a slick fuel container that exactly fits under the 460 rear folding seat. It was made for a Quad ATV to carry fuel on the rack. The construction is excellent, with a great seal on the filler/spout and a high quality positive seal vent. It holds 3.2 US gallons. An extra 60 miles in my truck. Pretty neat.

Nice find Dai.
I had seen similar units at boat supply houses but non as compact.

Here are two possible contacts. When I Google Fuel Pack I get a company called Kolpin. They may now own that product.

Any issues with carrying the fuel inside? I am looking for an way to cary the fuel for longer trip and I am a bit hesitant to carry inside even with my Jerry can.

I like that for roof top carry. Keeps the weight as low and spread out as possible. Looks like it would be easy to tie down, and you could still put other stuff on top of it.

This is an old post (2008) and Kolpin and the Can Cam no longer make containers for fuel - unfortunately.
