20 Litre Steel cans are definitely the best IHMO. Cost should be about 15-
20 each. Make sure you purchase New cans not second hand. Depending on your
fuel tank size 4 cans will be more than enough. In fact I rarely use more
than 40 litres on a trip (3 hrs flying time).

You may need to be careful filling up. It is technically illegal to fill
more than one can at a time at a filling station (health and safety issues),
but most turn a blind eye. If you park your car so that the safety cameras
cant see the back of your car, they are unlikely to notice anyway.

Dont try to fill 4 cans and your car tank. Most petrol station systems in
the UK are set to shut down after 80 litres (sometimes 100).
