i am going to fit 20lt fuel containers to the A frame of the van alongside the 9.5lt gas cylinders , question is plastic or steel ,i have seen a lot of different types
any recommendations of what type might be best ,the van is not an off road van ,
I am a bit old-fashioned .... I would only use steel jerry-cans. I have one that is at least 35 years old and still going really well and in use. I also have one that is about 11 years old. I believe they are stronger and more likely to survive 'rough/careless' handling.
Having said that, I do know many prefer the PROPER plastic ones - the ones with the Australian standard marked on them.
Like most things in life and travelling - horses for courses .. and ultimately your preference.
Cheers - John

Scooner, take care here, our new Jayco has jerrycan holder mounted on the A frame between the two gas bottles, there is a small warning notice riveted to the jerrycan holder that advises owners that only water should be carried here.
I have two holders on the drawbar but they sit outboard of the two gas bottles. I would think sitting between the gas bottles would be a bugger to haul out of their carriers, almost a HSE issue.
