The great thing about the Justrite,, the can is pressure sealed,, no air exchange if heated up, then cooled down. Normal cans leak air, so, when the temperature changes the can will push out air, then pull in a fresh batch of air,, That air exchange is how moisture gets into the fuel.

I bought a 4052R JD, because I found it setting on a dealers lot,, with 250ish hours on it. Only 25 PTO hours,, the guy had a 6 foot "bush hog". I possibly would have considered a 5XXX if buying new,, but, i got this tractor for $20,000 less than it would cost me to order it. I THOUGHT I was...
