More then once I have had to change my route because of lack of range (700kms) and it's not fun.

I've crashed A LOT .... Never broken a fuel container. Depends how and where you stow them obviously.. Coke bottles are going to break. Jerry cans on the crash bars are going to break..
Put your fuel in thick, plastic, flexible containers away from drop zones and you're on to a winner.. It's like having a mini Acerbis tank as back up..
But yeah, fuel in the tank is the best place.. I just thought a 43 tank is MAJOR overkill... I never got less than 280 miles from a tank on my AT. And I've never had more than 220 mile range of fuel while travelling ANYWHERE. Nor did I need it more.
That piece of mind knowing you're not going to run out of fuel is a nice one... I can't deny it.
