Perhaps you meant 'motoring' long distances?
Fuel storage on deck doesn't bother me. I clamped a length of 2x3 to a pair of stanchions with stainless U-bolts, then lashed the jugs to that. Keep one side of the deck clear for rigging a jack line / going forward.
Longest I've run the A4 continuously is about 30 hours, just hard enough to keep boat speed up to 5 knots while motor sailing in light wind. Used only half of my 20 gallon tank!
