Spare Tire Gas Can

[CSteve]

Recently I saw a neat black gas can that goes in the spare tire rim under the trunk panel. NO idea where I saw it but would love, love to have one. I thought it was here, but I have searched various topics and can't find it.

Help!

You're looking for a Bellino jerry can. You can find them on eBay.

I randomly stumbled onto this little nugget... the Bellino gas tank.

I use this as the JerryCan for my yard tools...

Those Bellino ones are cool but definitely pricey. What about this option?

GKA Fuel Pack in the spare wheel

The jerry-can be comfortably put in the spare wheel. It allows you always to have reserve stock of fuel in the trunk without taking unnecessary place and jolting in the trunk

That one would definitely not fit under the spare. I have always wondered how the metal ones fit too.

Made in Russia, for what that's worth. I calculate the volume from the dimensions to be 1.2 litre, or about 1/3 of a gallon. That's how it fits inside the wheel, it's not very large. But better than no reserve at all.

Made in Russia, plastic, still pricy for plastic, won't fit. I have to pass for any one of these reasons. Especially the Putin Part!!

Fair enough, I hadn’t delved into its country of origin. The Bellino ones fit in place of the spare, correct? I guess in today’s world with tire puncture kits you are probably more likely to have an issue with low gas than a flat, depending on where you are and the distance you’re driving.

I thought about getting one of those, but I use that area under the spare for more vital parts like spare fuel pump, jumper cables, igintion parts etc.

Suggestion: setup a running search on eBay. You'll get an email each time a matching item is put up for auction. I got my Bellino for $150 from a guy in Washington State.. literally brand new.. and meanwhile, similar items were up for 400 euros from various sellers... patience is key.

I just grabbed an E3 rear window seal (the early one xxx471) for $250.

JP, Can you confirm it fits under your spare?
