Remember a 20l fuel container weighs about 23kg when full and large containers.
If you re going to carry extra fuel in jerrycans don t store them in the vehicle s cabin where fuel fumes can affect vehicle occupants.
Of course it all depends on the thickness of the plastic and so on but i do like the look of them.
By far the largest drawback to roof top storage is lifting the cans into place.

Generally avoid carrying fuel on the roof because of the roof s weight limits.
For more permanent solution you can have a new tankage.
As for putting all this extra weight on the roof imo not the greatest place for it more so on trucks with larger lifts.
