As far as leaks go. I have never leaked a drop. I use the Nato style cans and they are awesome. If you are worried about them leaking, you can actually make or cut out some extra rubber seal gaskets and glue them in the lid to give it a really tight seal. I haven't had to do that and like I said, no leaks. 
I used Blitz fuel can holders which are a little small for the Nato cans. I like this because it holds the can tighter and ensures it won't fall out. Get some pics for us too. We wanna see how it turned out.
