Default Spare Gas can?

Anyone know where I can get a good spare gas can that will fit in my saddle bag, or know of a container that works really good for taking on the bike, I figure 3 to 5 liters will do

Go to an outdoor shop and get an aluminum fuel bottle (MSR style).&nbsp\\; They come in a bunch of sizes and are fairly cheap.
