How are people securing gas cans (jerry cans) and propane cylinders in the cargo area

[glocke12]

been placing my 5 gallon jerry cans in between the rear seat and front seats, but am not a fan of doing that.

I'd rather secure them somehow in the cargo area but havent found a way to do so that won't cause them to tip over and potentially spill.

Along the same lines, whats the best way to secure grill size propane cylinders back there ? I had tried some bungee cords connected to the tie-downs back there but that didnt' work out so well

Most people mount them outside their car for safety. To keep it inside, get hooks/bungie/ratchet strap. Use your imagination.

Get a plastic 4 gallon milk crate, 20 gallon propane tanks almost fit perfectly and sit flat, depending on your 5 gal gas can shape, it might work for that too.

Where are the solid anchor points in the rear cargo area ?

Plenty to choose from!

Plus 1 for the milk crate with propane bottles. You might consider using a cargo bar with Jerry cans to prevent side to side motion.

the wooden crate has been around for millennia.
put it in a crate and tie off the crate so it doesn't tip
or slide around

Mine are mounted outside my Rig

Example of simple wood crate with its own attached floor. This one has a 5-gallon jug of drinking water. It won’t tip, but it will slide if it is not secured.

Not sure I would want gasoline in the interior, but that’s just me.

I kept gasoline in red Roto-Pax in my truck bed when I had a pickup. You do need to watch as you change elevations or deal with hot days that you vent those occasionally.

Can’t speak for propane but this is how I’m hauling fuel/water.

yeah, im talking more like 5 gallon metal jerry cans ( mil-sure style cans ), not overlanding type stuff. I am too poor for all of that...rig looks great though.

Previous milk crate suggestion seems like its a good one.
