    I've used a bladder before. Sketchy but worked...probably not smart but oh well.

    Those 15 gal containers are great for saving space on the vessel.

    There's a crew that trolls the ledge in a bay boat loaded down with gas cans like Cajunwannabe's first picture.

    The amazon kits come with a separate vent. You just have to drill a small hole in the plastic can.

    Jerry cans are just fine.
    Yes AND you must have a fire extinguisher if you have compartments that can trap fuel vapors whether it is permanent or not. This has resulted in many tickets. Also, the tank must be connected via quick release. MG

    Why would you not have a fire extinguisher anyway. Those little marine units will not put out more than a very small fire. I doubt they will tamp down a fuel fire. Seen more than one boat burn to the water line. If fact one I had been on earlier in the day.

    The real solution is to fix your fuel flow solutions. Dumping additional gas in a compromised system isn’t going to get you far.
    Fuel systems aren’t terribly tough to go through and fix.
