Michael, had the same problems with our stubbies, hence we only buy cans now. Keeping them in the plastic seal usually works (prevents too much movement)
well but you'll find that it crowds the fridge whereas when they're individually placed around you have a lot more room - unless you're a p*shead and don't believe in storing food in your fridge.
It depends to on the terrain, two other 4WD enthusiasts and myself constantly use to encounter leaking stubbies and just by looking at them they were foamed up inside which I reckon caused excess pressure causing the leak. This was mainly after dune work, corrugations and very rough terrain - normal beachdriving and tame tracks were fine.
We usually carry a large esky between us and stock that with a combo of frozen bottles of
water and ice on short trips. If the wife likes hogging the fridge with homely niceties, just rotate your beers ie. keep 6 in there and replace each one as you watch the sunset, of course this depends on your drinking speed!!
In regards to the Engel setting 2 - 2.5 is perfect.
