Gas cans

[amkfken]

What is wrong with the good old metal 5 gal GI "Jerry cans?? I use 4 of them, don't leak, use flexible spout, no spill etc.

I like the steel cans, like the Eagle brand, Bailey's has them but now they are about $100.00.

I paid $3.00 for this one .
And this one was free.

I'm another fan of the no-spill brand container. I have a two gallon size I use for the two stroke engines. It makes it easy to fill a chain saw or a weedwacker without running gasoline all over the place. The only problem I had was the black plastic ring cracked. The company has upgraded to a better plastic. Anyone who has a nozzle with the yellow dust cover and get a free replacement nozzle from the company by calling. The new ones have a clear dust cover.

I agree. I had an issue with there can, and 3 days later, a new nozzle. No metal cans, no spilling $4 per gallon gas all over...Well worth the $$$$.

Where might someone find one of these ''fuel stations?"

The only place I've seen them is on the internet. Once I put the tire chains on my plow truck it never goes down the road. I find it really annoying having to dump 10 or 15 gallons of gas into the tank while the wind is blowing. Plus I usually put the plastic cans in the back of my car and the plastic doesn't contain the fumes very well so the car gets pretty smelly.

I would like to see one in person but may just order one. It would be nice if the vent in the cap can be sealed while transporting. The other nice thing is it will not fall over like a 5 gallon can will.

That's a terrific deal on drums though. How/where did you score that?

They were advertised in the Bulletin Board a local Buy sell trade paper for 3 bucks apiece .
He had 12 of them and I took them all.
I sold tthe extry ones I did not use and made a profit of 113 dollars on them .

I bought one of these 15-gal fuel "Stations" exactly as pictured at my local Tractor Supply store. It's junk. Don't waste your money.

Cap doesn't seal. You'll loose a gallon just driving it home in the back of your truck from fuel splashing out around the cap. It DOES fall over easily (unless you mount it). The hose connection is in a poorly thought-out place. The hose itself is cheep and kinks/pinches when bent much. There is no place to hang up the nozzle. It's very awkward to carry most especially when it's HALF full and you can lift it, but the moment it begins to tilt all the fuel runs to one end and it tries to do a back flip out of your hand.

At about $100 somebody is getting rich selling these things.

They are not available at common outlets for low prices.

no worry about brittle plastic...

And they cost like $10 at full price.

They've that stupid plastic carb spout on. I just plan on taking it off and pouring directly. So I splash a little.
