If you do carry a gas can, it's a good idea to keep that gas fresh. When I
pull up to the station I empty my can in to the tank, then top it off
again. This way the gas can is only one tank old all the time.
I got in to the habit of carrying a gas can before I fixed my gas level
sender unit. I did get really good at estimating how empty I was by sound
and mileage though.
