These look like they might work:

Anyone ever used one?
Lots of talk on the 'net about using MSR canisters for gas. Seems there are
those who think it's a great idea, and those who think it's a terrible idea.

check the camping stores and looking at the smaler aluminum bottles with screw

oz bottle in my trunk of the GL and in my backpack when i had the 250. Its
sealed with an o-ring and i have never had any leaks. 20 ozs might not get you
far, but if you think of them as reserves not primary... And after 3 hours your
going to want/need to get off the bike anyway.

Subject: Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Options for carrying extra gas?
It's more that it would be nice to take a side-trip, maybe through the mountains
or back roads or similar, where I can't be guaranteed gas along the way. So far
I haven't found anything that looks like it'll work great, closest is maybe
getting some kind of saddlebag-area metal frame and putting a gas can in that,
but then there's the issue of it sitting on top of the exhaust in the direct
sun. Also thought about maybe a 2 gallon attached to the back of the
sissybar...

You're going to have to stop to put the extra gas in it anyway, and 160
miles is just a bit shy of three hours at a steady 60mph; might as well just
buy it fresh and avoid the issue?
Only reason I've ever carried extra fuel on a trip with me is when I head
north to Chicago, where gas is stupidly expensive. I fill two five gallon
cans and put them in my car's trunk, then use the cheap-cheap SC gas in
Chicago rather than filling up at
