The mounting options available will depend largely on your Xpedition’s design and what mounting accessories you have. In most cases, the prominent mounting spots for your fuel pack will be your vehicle's frame, roll cages, bed rails, or roof. Also, your mount should be compatible with your vehicle's frame so that it can enjoy a safe and reliable attachment using clamps, bolts, or latches.
Factor in the accessibility and convenience features of your desired fuel packs. This will enable ease of use on the trails. Go for packs that feature integrated handles and quick-release mechanisms to allow for easy refueling on the go. This way, you can replenish your fuel supply quickly and efficiently without wasting valuable time.
Your hauling/storage needs and preferences will change over time, so you'll need fuel packs and mounts to adapt to these changes. You should get fuel mounts that let you add extra packs and accessories as required. This provision will also help you enjoy the flexibility and customization options should you have cause to add any future upgrades or modifications.
Your regular driving range and duration influence the capacity of your fuel packs. If you take on extended driving expeditions, you'll need large-sized or multiple fuel packs to maintain a steady fuel supply. You'll also need sturdy, sizable mounts to secure the reserve fuel until you use it.
You need tough fuel tanks to withstand impact from hits to your vehicle's frame or the occasional roof-high drops. To ensure long-term use, you should get fuel packs built from heavy-duty plastic or corrosion-resistant metal. Also, consider options with reinforced seams, leak-proof caps, and cross-linked polyethylene builds, as they have leak and spill-proof designs. Similarly, choose mounts built with steel, aluminum, and powder-coat frames as they tend to be more durable than their counterparts.
