DRIFTER_016 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Canadian Tire Craig This is the one he has. And as you can see it's made in Canada. http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/4wd-gas-can-20l-0283056p.html#.VRrHhvnF8iY Edited March 31, 2015 by DRIFTER_016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Personally, this is the only type I use. Maybe expensive but will out last and out perform any of the plastic crap out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NANUK Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Do you know where I could buy one of them? I tried taking the one I bought back, but of course they wouldn't take it because it's been filled with.... GASOLINE lol. Thats Bull, How would you know it leaks unless you fill it with gasoline ? Where did you buy it from ? I would see the store manager and tell him it is illegal to sell a leaking gasoline container because that voids the CSA standards for such container. A big fire hazard. Should always be kept upright BUT Like mentioned above, you only fill it to 90% and it should not leak even when turned up side down That vent is there to open when pouring, NOT to leave it open during storage or transportation.

Whitespinnerbait Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Regardless of the can's orientation, it should not leak. If liquid gas can leak from it, then fuel vapours also can. Gasoline vapour is much more volatile than when it's in liquid form. Take the can back and exchange it for one that does not leak; even if it's sitting on its head. Dan. Thank you Sir !!

Old Ironmaker Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I don't want to highjack this thread but I think my question is related. What is the largest portable gas container I can buy? I have what I think is 20 LT/ 5 gallons. As I will be transporting gas to the slip where I am going to have my boat I would like a few of the largest tanks I can get. I will use a dolly to get them from the truck to the boat. Also I scored a removable hose and nozzle so no one is lifting a hundred pounds or so of fuel up onto the gunnel and then spill it all over trying to fill the boat.

sofabed Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Canadian Tire used to sell 55LT containers. It comes complete with wheels for moving it around. I am not sure if they are still available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you considered going this route........makes sense if you do this often enough. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Boating/Boating-Outboards-Accessories/Fuel-Tanks-Outboard-Motor-Accessories%7C/pc/104794380/c/104752980/sc/104347980/Moellerreg-DuraMAX-Portable-Fuel-Tank/700804.uts?destination=%2Fcatalog%2Fbrowse%2Ffuel-tanks-outboard-motor-accessories%2F_%2FN-1100541%2FNs-CATEGORY_SEQ_104347980%3FWTz_l%3Dundefined%253Bcat104794380%253Bcat104752980&WTz_l=undefined%3Bcat104794380%3Bcat104752980%3Bcat104347980 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The regular price @ CT is lower than Cabela's sale price. Moeller, the company that makes them also has a heavy duty 110L version. http://www.moellermarine.com/aftermarket/fuel_storage_tanks/wheeled_transport_tanks/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister G Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Sorry about that Drifter............those HD models look like a much better product. But I wouldn't want to handle the 110L model because once full it would weigh more then 200 lbs. My back hurts just thinking about it....LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
