You have no proof ;-))Except a searing memory of my fabricator father & grandfather smacking me upside the head often standing beside them at the shop. Then there's Shawn......and your flaming paint tables/work surface/shipping boxes! ;D

Nothing wrong with flaming tables!Motivates one to get the job done quicker!

this is a real mans site those fancy wrenches to get the cap off. Yeah, you'll need that wrench as these things don't leak anything and seem to pressurize over time.
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!

Well as this is a real man's site, let me be the first to say you don't need a "fancy wrench" to remove those tops. You just need upper body strength... ;D

On another note, I have always liked those cans. Plastic too!I was wondering how well they'll pour. When you transfer some fuel with them let us know.As a sidebar, the NATO 20L metal cans I have been using for years now to refuel my tractors and Loader have held up well. Always work and pour as well as you'd expect from a venting nozzle.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
I think it's more a ribbin' on the wrench. If the gasket is not clean and he lid tight they can leak. As well if venting will be needed don't fill to the top. The air vent runs through the holes around the perimeter into the handle. If you are too full it will push fuel out the cap when venting or using. Just FYI.
On that wrench and lid, these guys are wheeling the Rockies. So not making excuses but it's not WI or KY either as far as elevation changes. The ID on my filler is 9/16 on the tube 3/4 od

Here's the fill nozzle I have. And link. http://mil.sceptermilitary.com/fuel_containers/accessories/04353/
If you build your can carrier so that you can remove the lids while mounted, you can use a hand pumped syphon to refuel. Then you won't have to worry about removing the can, and getting the spout firmly seated in the fuel filler while trying to balance the can and pour. ;-)
Water jugs I see are about 1/2 the price. Are they the same material?I picked up a few smaller "test" military jugs using a quick release spout I haven't matched yet. About 3.5 gal and tuff as nails!
So the old Mil Cans are illegal? I see them virtually every day around here on all manner of rigs..clearly not being enforced if accurate. I do seem to remember reading on that yuppie sight... Expo something, about this. The old GI water specific cans had a internal coating in them that doesn't play well with gasoline. Although No2 doesn't seem to bother it.As for that wrench for the fuel caps...seems like a grand idea for arthritis suffers. Just saying....
I like those cans too. I see em on Ebay for around $100 each new, some used too.I also have a 4 of the newer 20L "nato cans" that are OK and only $40 each.I saw a guy selling them on Ebay in lots of 7 for a good price, maybe a group buy?????
