It depends on the dimensions of the rack - the NATO plastics are a little larger than most 20l metals.

Hi Grizzly, if you need dimensions of the plastic ones, give me a shout. I'll dig one out of the truck and measure it

All the best

thankyou chaps!

i was thinking 2*20l water cans mounted in a storage bit of my camper would be a good plan if the main tank bounced and holed itself. The site on here for 4*4 bits sells water cans and petrol racks, just no response from them yet if one fits in the other. i'm in a small rush otherwise i could make a rack to suit i spose.

no point measuring one cos i don't know how big the other is, but ta muchly =

They are slightly bigger when full, couldn't fit 2 in the bedford mj carrier i had on my 101 easily so they need to be measured when full imho
