I definitely need a new storage method instead of my cheap plastic fuel cans. I had one crack from expansion in the summer heat and then I had one collapse during the cold weather and crack as well. One was storing gasoline and the other was storing two cycle mix. I remember searching for Sceptres (sp?) earlier this year but didn’t have any luck since they were all out of stock.

If anyone is interested I tried a AB NATO style Donkey Dick (Long-Nose Flexible Jerry Can Spout) on a Wavian NATO 20L can to fill my 2012 F150 capless fuel tank.
No spills, no problem getting past the spring loaded cap. I only topped off so no data on how long to empty a 20L can. Very slight gurgling.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Beowulf: Sealey? If it’s the adaptor I think it is then that’s a shame. I’ve used one for years to run my generator with outstanding results. If you end up getting Wavian’s get the Wavian nozzle with the reducing coupler. Works great if you need to pour into small openings. |

I rotated 25 gallons of E10 87 octane out this past summer. It was stored in October of 2012, so it was almost 5 years old. Ran it almost undiluted with new in my new truck. Ran great, no issues. It was stored in 5 plastic Blitz cans  that had the CARB nozzles removed, and airtight capped. I have a bunch of metal Jerry Cans, too, but wanted to see what condition these cans were in, instead. Very pleased with the results.
As has been stated many many times in this thread and in the SF, as long as you keep the fuel air tight from the environment, you will do well. Don't worry about temperatures. |

There's a special adapter cap for the Scepters [got several on eBay]
It's been mod'd for 3 ports, source, vent and return, and can have more. 
Output is 12vdc. For those techy and curious, the orange wire is the 'sense' for the modified voltage regulator. |

I just had to replace the gasket in my nozzle that I got from Old Grouch.
What a pain in the ass. Tough fit with the replacement gaskets I had. I tried searching for nozzle specific gasket but I couldn't find any. |

Made a thread on these but after doing so realized it would be better here.
I bought these fuel cans for mounting on an ATV. Pretty impressed with them so far. They are similar to the Rotopax but probably 1/2 the price. They have an air vent and drain just like the old style fuel cans (no CARB nozzles on these). They are made of very tough, thick plastic.

I need a spout for my MFC cans that I got long ago from Sportsman Guide. I only bought 6, but wish I would have got 20 or more. I don’t recall where I saw a home brew spout with parts from Home Depot or Lowes. Also, the cap baskets are Viton. We had a guy here that made them years ago, but can’t seem to find that info.
I have some 20 gallon steel drums that are lined. They had chiller oil in them. But the bung plug is plastic. A metal 2” bung is easy to find, but was thinking a bung with a flange and a Viton gasket might seal better. Guys that use drums for gas, have you use anything aside from just a standard bung plug? |

Bought two more NATO Jerrycans on FB marketplace for $5 after church today. There is some superficial rust on the outside, but I should be able to take care of that fairly easily. The insides will likely need to be treated too, but who doesn’t like a project?

Forgive me if this has already been covered--I skimmed the thread and didn't see it. AB offers the Wavian cans with two different spouts--a black rubber flexible hose, and a long-nose flexible spout. They are within a few dollars of each other. Is there a preference?

Finally had my blitz cans give up the ghost. Needing a couple of cans that will seal so I don’t get vapors in my garage. Usually try to keep 2 or 3 cans for my inverter generator. What’s the Best Buy for the cans and spouts. I do want the ability to dump the fuel in my vehicles to rotate stock. Thanks

Emptied the remaining fuel I had in mine into my 4Runner yesterday. It was a reminder to myself I need to pick up one or two more shaker siphons, those things are great if you've never used one. Now I need to go fill all of my cans back up. $$$$

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Beowulf: About half way down page 29 member onealphay2k made a post with six pictures. The last one shows the open mouth of the can. This is most like the Wavian cans and is the one most likely to work with the pre-ban spout (still no guarantee). In the next post I asked him a question about the 10L cans and he replied with 3 more pictures with the last one of those showing the open mouth of the 10L can. This shows a different type of internal air vent and will not work with the Wavain spout. Second, I am sorry. I did not go far enough. I got side-tracked by to the "Holy Moly, New European" thread that you posted on 9/20/2017 10:56:42 PM EDT. The pics there have been deleted. Don't think mine will work!

PSA- Don't forget, the Super Siphon is still the preferred method of transferring from cans for many members here. It, of course, fits all cans, and is able to empty a can in a very short time. I have both Super Siphon and nozzles, and have yet to use the nozzles. Although, I pretty much just empty a can into the truck. |
