I admit that scenario is very uncommon. but it did hapoen.
I always carry gas containers on an exterior rack. But the suggestion of a small high quality traler is a SUPER GOOD idea.



Do you have a link for the vehicle fire because of the jerry can?

An external rack will work, but I would not use a hitch mounted type as all you need is someone to rear end your vehicle and hitch rack that may have 10 or 20 gallons of gas strapped in.

Instead, a roof mounted carrier basket rack is better. These racks are easily mounted and removed by most and can be had for a decent price on Amazon.
