Non leak 5 gal fuel container

[JOHNTHOMAS]

I have many 5 gal plastic fuel containers. They all suck. I have a bit higher priced siphon I bought from Amazon, takes forever to move fuel. While on vacation last week I saw a couple of blue 5 gal plastic containers at a Thrift Store for $6.99 with a turn valve. I decided I'd buy one and try it for my diesel fuel. Pondered for a couple of days and before leaving Crossville, Tn I went back and bought the other one so now have two. Have filled both with fuel and emptied one while it was sitting on the hood of my L3901. Set it down on it's side and opened the vent and turned the opening valve. A couple minutes later the fuel was in my tractor and the can was empty with NO SPILLAGE!!!
I'm going to check to see if the emptying valve will fit my other cans.
Wal Mart and Amazon have the cans for $10.33 or/and the replacement valve for some what over $7.00. Another $3 gets the whole thing which seems to make the most sense to me.

Reviews from people owning/using these cans and valves are not all that great. Looks like one has to be careful opening and closing them. There is a valve on top of the spigot which turn either way to open while straight forward has the contents contained securely.
My F and RTV has the fill hole on the side and no spout is needed with them but the L has it right on top of the hood so this seems made for the L.

nospill is a company that make gas cans with a push-button valve. I love them!

Some states or localities have "approved container" rules, subject to fine. Color is one issue. Blue for Kero, Yellow for Diesel, Red for Gas.

I use WWll 5 gallon GI Jerry cans. Had them for over 40 years now and never a problem. Built to last forever and never spill a drop.

Go with Sure Can, Justrite or VP Racing. All are great. I hate everything else.

Yes, the Push-Bottom valves are the best because not only do they "not spill" but the gas dispenses quickly as they have a built-in vent.

Link or place to buy?

I knew this would come and not surprised it came from NY.

Found the no spill 5 gal container and it's only three (3) times as expensive at $32 No-Spill Gas Can - For Life Out Here
as the $10 one available at Wal Mart and Amazon that I bought that also has the vent cap and is plastic and not metal so much lighter for us elderly people to pick up.:thumbdown::shocked:

I paid 10.00 for a battery operated pump you drom in the can and turn it on. It is run by 2 AA batteries. I have pumped over a 150 gals on my first set of batteries. No need for a special can and it works for gas and diesel. Best part does not sill a drop
