If i dont get one how many jerry cans do you think are needed ?

Lots of places make them. Outerlimits for one.
Do a search on here and you will find.

Also the markets section on here currently has some.

I fitted sill tanks to my rangie last year in preparation for the trip. Gave me an onboard capacity of 160l then also had 2 10l jerry cans on the roof rack. As my rangie is efi we connected the tanks so that they fill into the main tank. With this arrangement we didn't have any issues between petrol stations. There are actually lots of them up there. I also fitted a snorkel, more of piece for mind as we weren't too sure how deep the crossing were going to be.

The rangie will handle it very well.

Have a look through the trip reports as I have made other comments in them.

Both sill tanks and snorkels appear in the markets from time to time.

I happen to have a long range fuel tank for suit a RRC for sale as well if you want it
