I remember tests of a similar product a few years ago. An engine would run on it, just not very well. Definitely emergency use only.

It's been a few months. How do you like them? Pros? Cons?I just ordered this knock off rotopax and will give it a try. $63 for 2.3 gallons and has the locking mount included. I'll bolt it to the tailgate support. There will be about once a year I will maaaybe need extra fuel, and probably won't even come close to running out after all.

How many trails have you been on and run? Most trails you do not need extra fuel, it really comes in handier for longer off grid trips as a safety measure. You're more likely to need additional water vs. fuelMy question wasn't if someone could tell me if I need to bring extra gas on the trail. It was to learn what the cheapest means of bringing a specific amount (4-5 gallons) would be.
The problem is that while I know what kind of gas mileage I get day-to-day, I have no idea what kind of gas mileage to expect when off-roading, especially different types. I assume rock crawling would be the worst MPG. But is it 2 MPG less? 35% less? I can't know what I need if I can't calculate what I'm going to use.
Of course, I would start with a full tank, and if I ever got close to 1/2, I'd need to decide if I need to turn around or I can complete the trail. This is where the extra gas comes in. It's cheap insurance. But only if it's cheap. I don't see I high likelihood of needing it, so it's not worth $250.
No complaints. It carried 2.6 gallons to Moab and back without incident. I never got below half a tank so I never got around to using any gas from it, but it's going to fill my mower up tonight.It's been a few months. How do you like them? Pros? Cons?
I haven't been close to running out of fuel as yet. But, I haven't done any all-day treks yet, either. Half-day is about as long as we've gone out, and we've always started with a fuel-up.How many trails have you been on and run?
