I suppose the best way to approach it is know your vehicle's average MPG and relate it to 10 litres of fuel. If you know for sure that your furthest OPEN fuel station is within that range, you should be fine. For me, I carry two because 2 is 1 and 1 is none, and you never know if an unknown fuel station will be available. If you have the room, it's a no brainer.I'm thinking of just taking the 1 10l instead of 20l. I'm trying to figure if that stupid or not.

Italy is more expensive for diesel than France so I brimmed my tanks (160ltrs) in France and covered most of our driving in Italy on that. We went down via Luxembourg where they have the cheapest diesel in Europe and brimmed my tanks there as well, same on the way back, probably saved us 60 euros just on the Luxembourg diesel. There is the largest fuel station in Europe south of Luxembourg city which is the cheapest.HI
Fingers crossed I hope to do last years planned trip of the Western Alps. I'm starting to prep the truck.

When I did the Pyrenees , I took a 20l of diesel can as backup. I'm thinking this is maybe excessive and that 10L is enough as I'm not traveling that far away from fuel supply.
I would appreciate people thoughts and what you think I should be carrying.

I don't know your vehicles fuel capacity Gary, but mine is 90 litres, and after laboriously collecting a years worth of data (being a spreadsheet lover), I have worked out that over a spectrum of driving conditions I can expect (hope for) the following ranges from one tank of fuel:Thank you..
Space is not really the problem, its weight, I'm try to lighten my load as much as possible. But without compromising safety.
Thanks for your opinion.

Which bit? I was there in sept/OctWas in Ukraine a few weeks back. Some seriously cheap diesel out there. Specially in the outback.
