If you are travelling in
areas with few filling
stations and you want to transport
fuel in a spare tank, comply with
the law by using only an approved,
suitably secured tank. In the event
of a collision the fire risk is
increased all the same.
Take care not to knock objects
on the roof rack when opening
the tailgate.
