That would be perfect if it was able to hold more fuel. i have a 4.5 gallon one right now, would hate to go smaller

Well you would feel better at least while you were paying the attendant for a fill up! I never keep more than 2 gallons in mine at a time, I only drive 10 miles round trip to and from work.

I wonder if you could buy the hardware only and find a way to mount it to what you have now.
