RE: Fuel can
Get a receiver style hitch and build your own tray\\mount for the can.
Had one on the GW to hold Ice Chest.

RE: Fuel can
why not just put a couple of
MSR fuel bottles (red ones used for camping stove fuel) in your gearor put a water bottle holder on your bag guards and slide the fuel bottles in there. Fuel bottles come in various sizes. A couple of liters would probably get you to a nearby gas station on a road trip.

They're made for backpacking, mountaineering, and other abuse. They should hold up. Try them at a nearby outdoor gear store.
