    Looking for cheap Jerry Cans???

    Anyone know a store in orange county or a website where I can get somewhat cheap 5 gallon Jerry cans for fuel?

    All the ones I"m finding are super pricey. I saw some on ebay but after hearing all the stories am very hesitant to buy.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I also need the donkey dick for it. I don't know if that the right term but that's what we call it in the military.

            I have 4 that I used for Diesel and a spout. I don't know what brand they are (you are welcome to come and take a look) but they are metal, not the plastic ones. $125.00 for all including the spout.

                Go here. These are new Nato cans, which have a better lid. Get the spout and some extra gaskets. They also have new Swiss made cans for 10 less.

                  No kidding. Too bad it is not legal for citizens to buy them.

                  The CARB-compliant cans are the most ridiculous thing to ever come out of this state. They are supposed to reduce vapor emissions, but end up increasing them due to the glug-glug non vented design and the fact it takes 10 times longer to transfer a given amount of fuel than a "normal" fuel can.

                    This is true about the carb cans. However, the link I provided will sell you the old style nato cans that do not have the stated problem. To sell in this state, CARB required that a decal be placed on each can stating it is not to be used for fuel.

                      I don't recall the website, but there was a unimog parts/repair/sales business that had pallets of Swiss 5gal? cans for cheap. I bought 5 and wish I'd bought 5 more- they're bullet proof.
