Gas/Fuel Cans

[nitzo]

I'm getting ready for hurricane season and was looking at my gas can situation, I have probably 8 or 10 cans, all different shapes and sizes, some have lids and some are missing, some are dented, some are smashed. I wanna get rid of the whole mess and get some nice new matching ones. I recently bought a new jerry can and I kind of like those, but I'm not sure. What are ya'll using and why do you think yours are the ones for me. Oh, I want them to hold 5 gal. or right around there. Thanks

50 bucks is the cheapest you can get them?

I just bought a couple of these after @MikeyXX mentioned them. I like them a lot and none of that non spill nozzle bulls***!

I have 6 gallon Midwest cheapies that I’ve modified with a vent kit and flex spout and a couple of smaller epa cans for filling the small stuff.

I bought 4 of those from some place. Ended up being like $16 a piece shipped but u had to buy 4. I've only used 1 of them, 1 time last week. I'm pretty happy with it. When I got them about 2 months ago, before all this covid s*** started going down. I went back to that website and they were out of stock. I guess everyone was tripping like I was. Lol

 

[nitzo]

I found these, not bad. Justright.

They are WELL worth it I have ...several ...of them, we live far enough out of town I'd rather fill gas cans and not have to worry about forgetting to fill a car on the way home. Several... of them is still WAY cheaper than even a pump much less a transfer tank for GAS. I can throw them in the bed of the truck and fill them all with Stabile and 93 for long term storage. I have carried one on every takeover and Overland trip for the past 3-4 years and other than losing one of the nozzle caps myself haven't had an issue. they don't spill when tipped I have dropped them full from the bed of my truck and they haven't leaked.

I finally bought a 2.5 gallon for carrying on the Pioneer and a 2.5 for 2Cycle Gas

Occasionally they will have a Holiday sale or something and you can get them for 20% less.
Don't buy direct shipping will get you if you're only buying one.
Tractor Supply carries them and a few other places so if you can get a discount code for one of those places you can get them cheaper too.

My go-to for fuel storage. The best in my opinion. $20 everywhere. They come in clear, red, yellow, blue. (I like the clear).
1)no government spout
2)5gal but holds 5.85gal
3)pours really fast
4)doesn't expand or collapse with temps
5)can lay down and won't leak
6)will last forever

I have two of these and they are awesome. Can't beat the price for what you get. I have told so many people about them since Rural King started selling them. Had mine for about 3 years now.

These NATO cans are the best

VALPRO 20 Liter (5 Gallon) NATO Style Jerry Can - European Military Spec | eBay

These are the highest quality steel jerry cans on the market from VALPRO. The Authentic NATO Jerry Can. The exclusive breather allows you to empty your can in seconds without the gargling. The vent fits perfectly with the NATO flexible or fixed spouts from Wavian.

www.ebay.com

If you can actually find these or Wavian they are lines and incredible. I have 8 of these and will never part with them.

I agree. The price VS quality is a bonus.

I had 4 of those and never again, all 4 split at the seams within a year. None where stored out side or abused, maybe I got a bad batch but I will buy then NATO ones from now on.

I use this cap and hose for easy and fast pouring.
