But what makes the difference in trunk mounted cans and hitch mounted cans as far as squirting?

How about rigging a 25-gallon fuel trailer? Park it in your garage and fill up your car as needed.

If I put a fuel bladder in the spare tire well of my Prius, and sealed the well from the inside of my trunk area, wonder how much fuel I could carry in that bladder?

OR, this would probably fit my spare tire wheel well:
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Moeller-....c100005.m1851
And would only take 10,000 miles of driving to reach break even point, at $50 discount per gallon. I would have 880 miles of driving per fill up. averaging 40 mpg. |

Uh....yeah, but I'd need over a dozen of these to make 15 gallons.

Considering the collectable nature of them they would never ROI.
I just like the one with the leather strap handle. If I'm out of gas I'd like to show up at the station with one of those.

For safety's sake,I'd recommend a racing fuel cell.(Racing catalogs like SUMMIT,JEG'S)
The bladder could rupture in a rear-end collision.The safety cells are engineered to help prevent that.
