If you can Find one, the older Winchester gunpowder cans are steel and can be used to hold solvents or fuel...
I have a couple that are full of a solvent mix that is way harder on cans than gas and they've been working well for the last several years...

Come on guys, the wedged bit of the trailer carries the esky, and what goes in there is way more important than extra fuel.
It isn't too thirsty with the trailer on the back. I did some figures a while ago on a couple of trips with it. The first one which included some spirited riding over the sportbike mecca in brisbane's hinterland (Mount Glorius) netted an average of 34mpg, and a more sedate run down the highway returned 38mpg.
Not that bad, eh?79 SF Special W/ Stock all original motor @ 384,000klms
