Tractor transfer gas cans:
Yesterday I had a enlighten event happen concerning my tractor fuel containers.
I have plenty of approved fuel containers available, but chose not to use them. For the last couple of years I have been using thin wall plastic hydraulic oil jugs as my fuel transfer containers. (light, large mouth, easy to use)
I filled my three thin wall plastic tanks and drove home in my jeep. Stopped to talk with a friend, we both smelled gasoline, but did not stop talking an thought nothing of it.
When I got to the jeep, fuel had been running out of a leak in the base of one of containers, my old jeep has drain holes to let water out (rust holes). The fuel has been dripping down on my muffler and tail pipe as I was driving home.
Got it all sorted out, but moral of this story, to all others that have to use gasoline transfer containers.
Bite the bullet and use proper gasoline containers. I do not like the new fangle spouts, but even with them is better than my experience, as I could have blown myself to kingdom come.
However, I am sure none of you guys ever use non government approved fuel containers (also they should be red)
note from picture, its not that I do not have plenty of approved containers available, just redneck stubborn
