Hi. I can carry a second spare wheel and 40 litres of petrol in jerry cans behind the FrontRunner tent on my roof rack, or 80 litres of petrol in jerry cans and no second spare wheel. We're crossing the Empty Quarter / Rub Al Khali in a couple of weeks and for that journey I am leaning hard toward maxing out on fuel. For the next stage, which is Riyadh to London in the first part of 2023, mostly but not exclusively on-road, I am leaning toward a second spare wheel and 40 litres of petrol. If you have experience on this route and have a view, let me know. Thanks in advance.
