John and Tina Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I am considering moving the Jerry Can holders to the rear bumper bar. This would involve moving both spares to the centre of the bar and have both jerry cans on the outside. Have not at this stage run a tape and see if it all fits. Would be interested to here from anyone who has moved the jerry can holders from the A frame to the rear bumper bar.

TonyH Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Hi John, I believe,...... but will stand corrected, it is illegal (& also very dangerous) to carry jerry cans on the rear of a van or any vehicle for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merv and Di Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Hi Tony Diesel only on the rear. It is still a bit iffy in some States with their respective Dangerous Goods Regs. Cheers Merv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John and Tina Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Thankyou Merv and Tony for your replies obviously there are different rules applied in each state. Lotus, Trackmaster, Supreme and Halen Vans all install their jerry can holders at the rear of the caravan all manufactured here in Victoria. I am of the opinion fuel stored at the rear of the van would be no more dangerous than side mounted tanks on prime movers. I will keep researching before making a final decision.

Merv and Di Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Hi John There is not a problem with having jerry cans on the rear of a van or a motor vehicle the regs only apply to what you can have in them and petrol is not one of them.
