I made a wood box to fit three 2 gallon jugs on my son's quad. He has a Polaris ATP with the dump bed. It works out nicely when on long excursions. It cost me maybe $15 for the jugs and $10 for the wood. I just strap it down and it holds very well.

I could be wrong but when i looked at them on the cabelas website a few people said that they leaked gas out the spout. i am now looking at getting the rotopax fuel cans they look like they are a little better made IMO. good luck.

Now that loaderboy mentions it, I have heard that about the Kolpin fuel packs. I think it would be better to get the vertical mount so that the spout is up top.

My buddy has one of the 4 gallon ones and he has problems with it leaking when laying flat. I just got done putting a 5 gallon Jeep can on the back of mine. If I can figure out how to post pictures on here, I willl show you what I did. Works great and a whole lot less expensive.
