BUT get a good strong thick one, not the flimsy ones at most car parts places. I actually got mine (thick black one with light yellow caps) from SupaCheap but look about. What you planning on doing ?

Probably won't need the spare fuel, but the Blackbird can get a little thirsty and I'd like some insurance when we cross the Nullabor (particularly if I give it a twist on the long straight bit)

There are fuel places but you never know what can happen if you break down and have no water. Note: Yalata has no fuel Davo 1400GTR "Roo" & 1000GTR "Griff" IBA #22575 - Davo's Pages
