Who makes a quality 5 gal gas can?

[northcreek2624]

Hi...My son is co-owner of a motocross track and we use many 5 gallon gas cans to fuel the various generators,quads,water pumps,etc.
We have tried many types of cans including motocross race containers.To date we have yet to find a type that holds up very long without leaking or being difficult to fuel with.
Anybody out there have a favorite?.....thanks,Mike.

Scepter makes the best but they aren't carb compliant and only available nor the of the border.
They are the ones the military uses but the general public has to use the new carb compliant junk.

I just recently ordered a couple cans over the web. They were non compliant but then I don't live in Kalifornica. Pretty handy as they have two compartments and two spouts, special design for oil gas mix on the big side and bar oil on the small side.

Why fool with 5 gallon cans when there are 15 30 and 55 gallon drums?

I'm sure you could sell some of them on here.

Did you ever try and pour gas in to a motorcycle or a generator at the track from a drum?

Larry,We have a 500 gallon stationary tank for the diesel stuff and had one for gas but,that didn't work out because the gas stuff is scattered around the 130 acres and it just makes more sense to leave a 5 gal can at each location...Mike.

As a crazy Canuck I must say I've never seen those scepter metal cans. I HATE stupid leaky 5 gal gas cans, they are the bane of my existence. I have a "flo n go" thingee but it's slow as molasses.

I'm going to check out what we can get here re: better cans and battery powered pumps.
