    extra fuel - disco 1 tdi

    With a big trip coming up in June I am looking at options to increase fuel capacity from standard. I have found various long range and auxillary tank options which are pricey. Does anyone know of an affordable jerry can holder to fit on the rear. I reckon an extra 20 litres will be enough and give me a range of around 900km laden. I dont want to carry fuel on top or onside the car.
    thanks
    Lindsay
    PS the thread on the expansion tank failures has inspired me to update that too!

    I had my old man make us one that fitted to the spare tyre carrier, if you know anyone handy with welder it's not to hard to build.

    Yes, but one means you walk, the other you may not walk away from.

    Australia-wide or just your State?

    There are so many laws now that I can't see how one could avoid breaking them. I doubt that anyone knows them all.
