The CARB emmission requirements are making gas cans that work harder to find. I don't have pesonal experience with these but have been considering upgrading to a safety can like those made by [Justrite Mfg.][1] or [Eagle][2] Take a look they might meet your need, espcially since you want to put this in your trunk. There are models gears toward diesel specifically.
You can get these on amazon, northern tool, hardware stores, etc
