Those gas canisters are NOT going to blow up. The gas is not going to expand inside the can or vaporize with extreme pressure to pose a danger. They are very strong and have been used for many years for camping and offroad riding and have no problems associated with them. They are meant for carrying fuel and are designed for that purpose.
If I were you, I would get 2 of them, then you have an extra 40-50 mile range before you run out if gas stations are so few and far between. Or you can get 1 gal flat poly cans that can mount on the bike, but they are not as strong. Just put the cans in your saddlebags and you'll be fine.
