Note, I said bag (balloon or bladder). If the commute is short, there should be more than enough gas between fills. (refilling daily if need be)

The main points for using a trailer.

1. to allow a larger bladder than could be placed inside a vehicle.
2. to separate the occupants from the fuel source in the event of a accident.


Using compressed gas in a approved container however, would be the best thing to do.
