Overview.
\n<\/strong>We have a selection of different fuel cans, which we can use depending on the planned trip.
\nHowever, long term, we intend to remove the existing fuel tank and fit two under-slung fuel tanks (a main and a second fuel tank), each side of the vehicle, keeping the extra weight as low as possible and approximately doubling the van’s present fuel capacity.
\nThis setup will also allow us a little bit of weight distribution when not full.<\/p>\n

* RE spare Fuel :<\/em><\/strong><\/span>
\nIn Germany & France. Stopping on the highway due to running out of fuel is illegal, as it is seen as a preventable, dangerous event.<\/em>
\nHowever,  in  Portugal<\/span>,  Greece <\/span>& Luxembourg. <\/span>Carrying spare fuel in a jerry can is generally illegal and can result in fines if you are stopped by authorities.
\n<\/em><\/span>Need to get the second fuel tank fitted ASAP.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
