Has anybody have ideas on a save & small container for fuel, to place in a saddlebag for just in case? (1-2 litres that won't leak and smell)

Get a can of solvent from WalMart.
They're metal, have good screw caps and will not leak.

Those MSR bottles work great. They are made for backpacking and have a rubber grommet on the lid. They do not leak and there are no fumes. I have been using them for years.

I bought a aluminum water bottle at wal-mart for $4. Works good. The b!tch is getting it in the tank w/o spilling it.  I carry a funnel now when I carry gas.

This was discussed about a month or two ago, someone mentioned the triangle gas cans, and I believe there where either from Harley or made for them, so it might help a little on the search.
I would do a search here first, and see what was said. There was a lot of talk about the priceses too. Like $30 for the gas can.

Yes, but what do you use for fuel for the bike?

I have this one and it does fit in rear af saddlebag nicely. Paid for itself the one time i had to use it when riding into strong headwind and ran out of gas a couple miles from the next station. Was back on road in a couple of minutes.

That was the Reda Gas Can that winemkr linked to. Marty
