When I had my old DR350 I used a black plastic 1 litre fuel can (Hein Gericke) & stored it inside a tail bag (again from Hein Gericke). Worked well & didn't leak.

My current bike has a 10 litre tank so don't feel the need to carry fuel any more.

I've heard of many people carring fuel in those aluminium sig bottles.

TBH

Just buy an oversized tank. Or you can get them bottle that mount to the fender that hold extra fuel. I always use a BIGGER tank.....
