Put your smaller in it with some washing powder and 2 or 3lts of water and drive all day and wringe out when you get to camp. Washing done. The agi movement all day washes everything really well. It was empty space on the roof so was perfect.

I have a similar drum I use best this ever ha ha

So with 175 ltrs can you do the Simmo In one hit
or take Jerry's just in case?

Depends on which line you want to do
The madigan or the french line
The french line i used half a tank
Of a 146lt tank
The madigan including the Geo survey
Track was 200lts i took 250 from
Mount Dare and put the last 50l
In at Birdsville topped up there and drove to longreach. We didn't need as much fuel as we took. Only neededto take an extra 25ltrs not 75ltrs.

Thought I'd update this thread with how things ended up for me.

I built myself a small rack that holds 3 20l jerries and a 2KG gas bottle. It bolts to the roof rack.

We travelled almost 5000 ks over some rough stuff, in the cold and warm and not a drip out of the jerries. I put 19L's in the 20L jerries, I thought that was a wise idea.

Here's a pic ...
