If gas spills inside the saddle bag it will smell like gas for a long time. The inside of bags are not painted with good paint(black) or there not painted at all, so gas will soak into the saddle bag.

If you must, I'd get a fuel bottle rather than a can.

Lots of dirtbike guys use those msr type fuel cans for extended range rides. Only thingI'd wonder about as far as fuel in the saddle bag is if it could somehow leak onto a hot tail pipe. If you carry spare gas put it in the tank as soon as there is enough room to take it. Don't wait till it get way low.
