1st the good one: the rear trunk on my RT-S 2011 is waterproof: you can make an aquarium of it and it does not leak, so I am guessing it should be safe from rain etc.
2nd news... The bad one: a brand new Reda gas can leaks like its paid for: 1/2 gallon of gas spilled in my trunk... Must another POS made in China!!!

Was the cap on tight ? Did a seam leak ? I think you can ride with these things on there sides with no leaks. :dontknow: opcorn:opcorn:

The cap needs to be real tight, which would take it past the locking tabs. You might also want to check the rubber ring on the poor spout, making sure that the spout is still in the grove of the rubber ring. When you fill the gas can fill it almost to the top and when you put the cap on turn the can upside down making sure it will not leak. I put two cans in my Harley bags just in case my wife needed gas on our way to Americade. We took almost all back roads from Tennessee a little over 1000 miles and no problem. Now with this all said you may have a bad gas can or think you do, just give Reda Innovations a call and they will take care of you, 706.364.7643.

:agree: A new can shouldn't be leaking that badly yet... Give them a chance to make it right for you! :thumbup:

My Reda Gas Can has been on the road with me for 5000 plus miles now without a wiff into the surrounding area... I agree with the suspicion above that you were misfortunate in getting a defective one (not the norm).. Better luck to you in the future.. That can has come in handy more than once.
