Hey all. To those who take long trips on their bikes, how do you carry some additional fuel?

I'm planning on going on a solo trip to Leh from Delhi as 3rd party group packages are too expensive and nuanced, and I dont have many friends who would do this with me.

My primary concern is that I find the fuel gauge to be very bad in terms of showing actual fuel, once it starts dropping from the last bar, I already would have used 7 8 litres of fuel.

I was exploring ways of carrying atleast a little bit extra fuel. Checked jerry cans that would be mounted on the tank guards, they give off quite a bit of vibrations, and I have to use 2 to balance the weight, and the bike feels quite heavy when loaded up front, so I dont really prefer it.

My thinking was to carry atleast 5L, and I dont really use panniers, just a tail bag.

Looking for suggestions based on your experiences, whether the fuel is even necessary or not.
