    Default Gas cans

    I have been using my gas cans more often this year.

    My current 5G cans without vents were not cutting it and leaked more that I could tolerate and take forever to dump 5 gallons.

    Looked at the VP race cans and stumbled across the rural king gas cans for half the price.

    https://www.ruralking.com/5-gallon-p...-container-red

    Made in the USA, no leaks and hold 5.5 gallons. I tested with water and with vent fully open, no leaks.

    Drains 5.5 gallons in about 75 sec.

    Technically these can’t be sold as gas cans due to the venting and free flow nozzles, but honestly nobody will ever question a red gas can.

    Have you ever tried the turbo siphon? It's was literally purpose built for this task and intended as an improvement over the shaker...

    Yuck! Not a big fan of mouth siphoning gas vapor. My sister in law bought a couple of these and they are excellent: https://www.amazon.com/SWANLAKE-Port...s%2C115&sr=8-8

    You BLOW into the little hose, and never get the gas fumes or liquid in your mouth! LoL.

    Don't you think of they designed a product for gas it would obviously overcome that shortcoming?

    Remember, blow don't suck!

    That is definitely better! Lol! I just looked at the pictures and made an assumption.

    Not sure it is an improvement, just different. Been using these shaker siphons for years, never had 1 fail and easy to roll up and store.

    I just bought one of these before we left for Lake Powell last week and it was awesome! Best $30 i've spent in a long time. I highly recommend it.
