Gasoline Cans, Progresso Nuevo

You may be able to find a used one at the flea markets in the Valley.

Yeah, maybe Don West. Thanks.

More likely at some of the Mexican Flea Markets

Starting to see some of these THIN gas containers around the jeep world now... The several different mounting capabilities are making these very popular

Royb, but do they have the auto shutoffs that I hate so?

Those thin ones look great, but I can't imagine the cost! I think the old fashioned ones are about $20 now.

I hate these new spouts. What problem are they trying to solve? I "Fixed" the last one I bought so I can simply remove the cap and out comes gas.

wiltoad, how did you fix it? Drill the guts out of the inside of the nozzle? Maybe try that instead.

I had one of those Kolpin 5 gallon cans on my ATV. I laid it flat on the front rack. All it did was leak around the cap. I called and complained. They sent me a couple more caps/spouts. All they did was leak also. Worthless piece of junk. Wish I had never wasted the money..

B.O.

The newer gas cans are a sore point with me also. JUNK! Of course they were mandated by CARB (California Air Regulation Board). This summer everywhere we stopped I always looked in stores for something else. In Dillon, MT. I was in a farm and ranch store looking and a friendly clerk came up and asked if I needed help. Told him what I had been looking for and he chuckled and said "yes, you and everybody else, including myself. What you see is all we can get". I googled gas caps. Came up with this You Tube flick,

watch it, it is funny and check out the air vent. Told a friend back East about the gas can situation and he started looking as he had two old good cans. He said yep those new ones are junk. He went to a local Friday night auction a couple of weeks ago and saw an old can in good shape with a good spout. When the auctioneer brought it up for sale they added a leaf blower and something else. He bought the lot of three for $22.00. Outside as he was putting the stuff in the bed of his truck a fellow came up and said, "you paid $22.00 for those three things, I'll give you $22.00 for just the gas can". Nope my friend said. Then he goes home goes to Ebay. You guys check out the good old cans and spouts and look at the bids. Unbelievable.
