Anyone using Rotopax products on their toys? Quality? Tips tricks etc on mounting or use?

I love my rotopax cans. The are made out of far thicker plastic than any other can I have seen. I have 2 on my jeep's swing out carrier. These cans are all but bullet proof. I left one half full and in the heat it appeared to expand to half it's size again larger. I released the pressure and after a day or two the can was nearly back to it's origional size. And even better not a single drop of a leak.
My rear bumper maker included the rotopax mount that looks like a winch mount plate. I opted for the locking mounts, and the ability to actually secure my fuel cans makes me feel better after dropping 200 big ones on them. Plus the cans look nice too.
Generally I am opposed to storing fuel cans in a vehicle. However my wife and I moved across country and we wanted to have a way to store extra diesel fuel for her grand cherokee. After seeing how much pressure the cans could withstand I didn't have many reservations about filling the can up an putting it in the back of the vehicle. After 3000+ miles, besides the little fuel that got spilled on the can at the station, we never smelled a wif of fuel.
If you buy them you won't regret it.

I like these. I have an LOD with the jerry can holders, which ones do I need to get ? 
I am guessing two of the 2 gallon ones for each side ?
You guys have any pictures of these mounted on regular jerry can holders.
Thx
