Extra fuel... fuel cell? Thoughts?

Be careful that your neighbors don't see that and report you to the Feds as a possible terrorist.

Be especially aware that your intended bottle is not designed for fuel. Remember the fuel volume will change depending upon temperature, and if you leave any air space in the bottle when you fill it, the pressure in that void will change with temperature and altitude.

The last thing you want is a venting fuel bottle inside your pannier.

they will work, but you need to remember to leave expansion room, and the O ring needs to changed, the fuel bottles I posted are reinforced to pressurize for camp stoves, and already have the proper O ring, as cheap as they are, just get one designed for fuel, they don't need to vent, all modern gas cans are 100 percent sealed, but vapor needs a place to expand, when it cools it will condense again
