OT: Gas cans that DON'T suck? - Ford Forums

09-06-2005, 19:01

I cannot find one- or two-gallon gas cans that don't leak at the neck or
require goofy disassembly and re-assembly. We had one when I was a kid
made of METAL with a simple vent and plastic plug at the end of a rubber
hose that lasted for 10 years. I have various fueling needs, and am
sick of worrying about burning my freakin house down.

Do any of you racers use a particular brand of small cans to fill cells
with or anything? I need to fill equipment and mix two-stroke for shit
and cannot find any I don't want to report to a consumer group. They
all seem to SUCK now.

Thanksss

Thanks Al, and bingo. This brand is now familiar. I couldn't think of
what we used to use at the equipment rental place. It's been years
since I've thought about it. I see a big cardboard box in my future.

I finally picked up a couple today. They aren't cheap, but then again,
they aren't cheap. Grainger allowed me a one-time retail purchase.

Grainger's is a joke. Just go in and say you're from any gas station in the
area. They'll sell to anyone. When I was a teenager I would go into a
Goodwill store and pick up a mechanic's shirt from a local car dealer. Walk
into any parts store and instant discount.
