5-GALLON GAS CAN HOLDERS

My light-weight, welded aluminum, black powder coated, roof rack gas can holders were designed to hold 5-gallon gas tanks on their sides reducing vertical profile and wind resistance.  They are excellent "tool" cribs when the cans aren't in them (the can holders ARE strong enough to mount vertically as a stand alone holder anywhere).  I made my can holders in single and double, side-by-side configuration.  They are fabricated with drain ports and bungee attach holes.  I've made a few of these for my friends and they cost about $100 for the single and $110 for the double to make.

I did not supply mounting hardware when I made them due to the infinite number of mounting combinations out there. I left the mounting configuration up to the users so I don't pre-drill the bottoms.  My friends who have them have been sandwiching the roof rack rails between the can holder and a piece of angle iron or flat-plate on each end of the holder.  One configuration has the cans bolted directly to the rails with self-tapping screws, another configuration has channel bolts going through the can holder with flat plate under the rack floor rails, and another  is bolting his can holders directly to the aluminum floor of the roof rack.

They are not difficult to make and they work well.  If you would like something like this and don't want to make them yourselves, I'll be happy to make some for you.  Just drop me an e-mail at: curquieta@chrisurquieta.com
