Manali to Leh, most folks carry an extra 10 liters, you'll likely not need it because now they are usually selling gas at Pang.
Gas points are Manali, Tandi (just before Keylang), and if you are lucky Pang (there are usually a few jeep cans full at the tea stalls). I think there is also gas in Upshi, but by the you are very close to Leh. We found gas along the way from leh to lamaryuru and in Kargil, but if you go to Padum you must be totally self sufficient.
