I was travelling up the western route of the Sahara this summer on my bike and met up with a pair of Land Rovers in St. Louis, Senegal. One was a Defender 130 and the guy had built his own stainless steel fuel tank to sit in the flat bed behind the cab. The other was a Defender 90 and had about 7 seven jerry cans standing up across the roof rack. To fill the main tank from the jerry cans we just used a length of plastic pipe and siphoned the fuel from them, while leaving them in place on the roof. Very simple and cheap solution, I thought.
