There's also the question of can WCVs fill their tanks. If they can't fill their tanks, they don't need a gas can.

What do you mean?  I think the item would be the source of the power and the wamp would feed from it. It wouldn't give the host the power for the demon to then feed from.  That probably wouldn't be healthy.

Bad Alias:
Tank is an analogy for a WCV's store of energy. A gas can is something that one uses to fill a gas tank. In the analogy, a gas can would be the device you suggest. What I'm saying is that if a WCV cannot fill up his reservoir of energy, but just ad more and more as he feeds, then the gas can would be pointless.

A gas can wouldn't fill most tanks. But if the tank runs out, it can put some fuel in to keep it running until you can get it to the gas station.

What you're saying is that it'd do no good to put a couple gallons into a tank running on fumes, because what's the point if it can't fill it?  :o

Thomas's tank ran dry in PT, to the point that he was running on fumes. In this analogy, Lara managed to syphon gas from her own running car to put some gas in Thomas's tank to keep it running.  In the process she left herself running low on gas, either due to having a small tank herself, or spilling a lot in an unorthodox transfer method. 

What I'm proposing is a small gas can that's kept in the trunk, and if the tank gets low, then it can be used in an emergency.  And if Lara showed up with her own reserve, they could put even more in, to prevent Thomas's engine from dying.

forumghost:
No he's saying that if Wampires have no upper limit to how much they can hold, why would they bother with a back-up tank, since that energy can just be kept in the main tank.
