The best way is find a place on the boat to install a secondary fuel
tank. That said, many cruisers carry jerry jugs on deck, sometimes
near the stern, sometimes lashed to a board between lifeline
stanchions.

My advice? Buy a boat with more fuel capacity. 20 gallons is totally
inadequate for extended cruising.


Good advise, but I am stuck with 20 gallons tank.
I'll look into a secondary tank.

One thing to remember is that if you cannot reach a safe harbor before wind
and seas become "challenging," your better decision will probably be to GAIN
searoom, not reduce it.
