On a related topic, can anyone recommend a gas can that is good for keeping the fumes minimal?

I just bought the Risk Racing EZ5 can after 15 years of having several shitty leaky VP cans. So much better... (alloy plugs, hose bender, three handles, floor mount. Very happy with it.

Also, in the box they sent me a 15% off coupon for my next purchase. Here you go... MOTO 15.

That is slick. I like the floor mount and hose.

I'm planning on adding one soon in my Metris. My bike is in there full time since I don't have a garage and the gas smell in the summer can get pretty bad according to my passengers. My wife and I must be used to it because I don't smell it at all anymore, but one of those Maxxfans can move like 200 cubic feet a minute which would be pretty much all the air in my van. Depending on how sealed your partition is you may get away with it, but we don't have a partition.

The fans are also great for keeping moisture at bay on the inside of the van, which is probably why the up-fitter is recommending it.

A few months ago I ordered a new Ford Transit which should be delivered sometime next month so I am starting to finalize plans for my moto van build out. I'm for sure doing a custom, sealed partition by an upfit company. One thing I'm undecided on is whether a roof vent for the cargo area is necessary. The upfit company is recommending it, but I'm not sure it's necessary. For you guys that have done similar builds, did you do a roof vent? What made you decide to do it or not to do it? For reference, most often I'll be carrying my Husky 450, my son's KTM 50 and a 5 gallon Matrix Concepts gas can for each. How worried should I be about gas fumes or general comfort in the summer?

Thanks in advance for your input.
