If you use while airborne, how do you vent it?

I transfer from the portable tank to the planes tank until a vacuum is evident by slight collapse of the portable tank then crack open the vent screw on the portable tank until pressure equalizes.

Here's another possibility: http://www.rotopax.com/
Not the cheapest, but they're quite sturdy, come with various mounts.

Alaska bushwheel website
Google the Alaska Bushwheel website. They have a collapseable container that is specifically meant to hold gas. Easy to strap down and after use take up little room.

Any plastic gas can will do, but the bigger issue is keeping the cans strapped down so they can't move around.

You're right about that! I'm seldom more than 10 miles from a self-serve pump. I admit that would make a big difference!

I thought that with all this talk about hauling fuel around in plastic containers, the following report on Fuel Handling Safety by the CAFE Foundation might be of interest to the group:

Rotopax work very well on dual-sport motorcycles without spilling. Very sturdy, good mounting options.
