Gas cans a few weeks ago

[urbancase]

Here what I use, I would think they were sold nation wide, I have around 6 or 7. Have old time vent on them, and do not have all the EPA stuff on them. Was in TSC and walked past them. Figured I post as I comes up every so often.

This is one of mine. Vent is an old racers trick.

I have been using a red one for a year, this winter the hose broke. I thought it was just too cold. I kept the hose with the plan to buy a new clamp and reattach it. It’s 80 degrees and the hose is hard as a brick. I guess it doesn’t really like gas. I will replace it with a gas approved hose.

That's why it says "Remove Tag Before Use"

I thought TSC stopped selling those,but maybe not.Local man had one split open in the back of his pickup and told me how lucky he was.Turns out his wife wanted to give him a surprise,and had filled one with gas and 2 cycle oil for his saw.Hauled it out to him in the back of her SUV.An hour after he got it the container was split.It was a couple of years old.I had a tenant in my garage that went to get a couple hundred gallons of free heating oil.He borrowed my pump,and had one of those steel framed plastic totes that had carried airplane wing de-icer.It was pouring rain,and a few miles from home he realized the truck was riding worse.Somewhere in a 7 mile stretch of road that plastic tote had split and lost that 200+gallon load of # 2 fuel.I used to use those white plastic 5 gallon totes that car wash chemicals come in.Looks strong,feels strong,nice gap,good handles molded in,whats not to like.Until they're 6 months old and you grab the handle and rip the top 4 inches right off the thing.

Yea I get it, some of mine are 7 years old and carried, gas, diesel and rule 66 mineral spirits and no problems. When not in use that are inside out if the sun. Just what I experienced.

I thought.... that just means, it doesn't come with any gas in it?

Not sure if it was this thread or another, but I did post;

"Rebels without a clue"

We had a neighbor who used to send his wife to town to get ten gallons in a milk can. If she'd ever stopped quick or even turned a corner too fast, the can would have slid, the lid would have popped off and it would have turned in to a ten gallon fire ball. I don't know how he ever lived long enough to die of cancer or for her to die of whatever old age ailment took her.

Stupid people often seem to be lucky

See if often at work.

The not for fuel tag is because they don't want to jump thru the hoops of government testing and don't want all the safety crap on them. We sell them all the time at my work place. They routinely have alcohol or 110 racing fuel put in them.

Yep. How else do you think the climate change gestapo will know who to arrest?

 

[Dingo3]

Sense of humor anyone?

 

[Keith True]

I think it's the sun that does those white cans in.My wife had a couple she used to carry water to where there was no hose,she left them out in the sun all the time,and they crumbled after a while.
