no hard evidence to reference to, but here's my thoughts on the subject.

Typically speaking, I'd take 2 twenty Litre jerry cans down to Pt Roberts (with my car, of course), and fill up.

I made it clear when crossing the border back to Canada that I have 2 jerry cans worth of gasoline, + filled up my car tank...they typically let me go w/o issues.

I don't think you wanna seriously go overboard (like carry 4 twenty-litre jerry cans or similar) for it makes your motive extremely clear and they may give you hassle for that.

As I said before: if you are upfront and honest with them RE: you put/bought gasoline
  , they typically would let you go.

Only when they suspect that you are lying (not declaring stuff that you should), which may or may not include gasoline purchased that you will then spiral into hell...I mean you will have to plea your innocence @ the border and let them do the searching, yadda..yadda...and your day will be pretty much ruined from there onwards.

How much can they tax you for 100bux worth of gasoline? (that's 2x 20L jerry cans + my car tank, filled), 7bux? or 5? If they don't have a proper means to determine how much gas you have put in it or if they think it's not worth their while to tax you, usually they won't.

Don't forget to get a purchase receipt for gas purchase to show them when you cross the border....

Sorry Drew, I don't think I've seen 6.6US Gal jerry can sold locally (not for quite a while).

I'm currently using Septer 20Litre jerry can, and never a problem with them (I take 2 to cross the border to buy gas).

Gas fumes may be an issue but remember this: a properly functioning, sealing plastic jerry can is suppose to seal off any fume leaks (has rubber gaskets also). Any jerry cans missing proper caps and/or sealing gaskets should be disposed of regardless... Any old jerry can (older than 6+yrs old) and not sealing properly should be replaced with new ones.

I typically save about 16bux for 2 car's worth of gasoline while fueling up in Pt Roberts.

(*did that last Saturday, with 40litres of gas to bring home for wifey's camry).
