New gas "cans" - On the other hand

[DieselPower]

Hey, them valves are expensive you know.

And if your fuel fill is on the top of your tractor and you want a really spiffy metal gas can check out this little baby with a tap in the bottom. Don't get much easier than that. Set the can on the hood and hold the valve open.

I think I could dispense with that can.

mrutkaus & Dieselpower: Thanks for sharing the picture of the DISPENSER can with the web link. I would like to point out to our other readers that the red can is NOT a gasoline or diesel can. It is designed for dispensing rum (preferably Appleton) from a workbench, worksite or even the top of a tractor hood. It is the modern day equivalent of a wooden rum keg. Modern brass valves work so much better than the old wooden types.

Look again; no where on the linked web page does it mention gasoline, kerosene or diesel.


Both of you are right about the spillage. You will not lose any rum when dispensing from this beverage dispenser.

The problem is not with the plastic can but the type of spout they put on them nowadays.

As far as that metal can with the spout on the bottom, wow talk about sticker shock!

Could almost set up a 30 gallon drum for the price of one of these cans.

Awfully proud of those little red gas cans, aren't they?

: $144.85 ea

I'd go with a 30 Gallon drum before blowing this kind of money on a tin can.

mrutkaus & Dieselpower: .

Look again; no where on the linked web page does it mention gasoline, kerosene or diesel.

well no it doesnt say diesel gas kerosene but it does list it as a safety can for rated for flammable materials, which i do belive kerosene and diesel and gas are flammable, infact i can gaurantee gas is flammable, i been outa work two weeks recovering from second degree burns on my right hand and forearm from it!

Believe it or not, while gasoline is a flammable liquid, diesel and kerosene are not; they are classified as combustible, which is a lower rating.

If that can is rated for flammable liquids, it would certainly be OK for diesel and kerosene.

I'd have to be better healed than I am right now to buy one, though.
