anyone ever heard of using a MSR water bag for gas on a tour? if gas
wouldnt eat up the plastic it'd be a handy way to carry an exta 10L of
gas in each front/tank pannier that could simply be rolled up and
stowed when not in use. but you'd wanta make sure and NOT use 'em for
water afterwards. think it'd work?

Nope... had to do it to get out of a bad spot & bags didn't last too long (few hours). I use MSR fuel bottles - not 10L of fule, but better than nothing...

Find a 4 or 5 quart oil container at a truck stop. Throw it away when you are done.

Wildlands,
I've got no idea but I'm curious as to where you might be traveling that
you'd be willing to carry an extra 20 liters of fuel.
I've only had one leg of a trip in the US where I was kind of concerned
about fuel. Steve Rankin wasn't worried a bit. And that later proved
worthy.
Best,

Buy a 1 gallon gas can from Walmart and strap it to your rear
carrier. Does wonders for tailgaters.

Here's another option:

I've never used one, not sure how we'll they'd take to being bungeed
to a bike, but it only has to last until you've burned a gallon out of
the tank and looks easy to carry.

Deep in a faded memory I remember dual tank bladders strung across my
GS, seems to me I purchased them in Australia..... So if someone who
rides the big empty knows?

Yes, those will work. Easier to find, however, are the clear plastic
bottles that soda pop, juice or Gatorade come in. They have a "1" in
the recycling triangle on the bottom, indicating that they are made of
polyethylene terepthalate, an even more gas-resistant material than
the oil bottles which have a "2" on the bottom. You can scrounge them
out of any dumpster in a pinch.

One thing to consider is that a thin plastic container has a risk of a
puncture. A puncture or split while you're riding or wrecking may "light up
your life".
