Having a few problems with my jerry can collection, what do you suggest;
1, seals, the seals on fleabay and other sites are a different shape to the ones in the cans i have and you end up cutting them to fit. why is that and where do i get real jerry can seals that fit, from?
2, base of the can, i have seen some people paint the bottom with car underseal to prevent rust from condensation and sitting on a damp floor, what do you think?
3, spouts, some fit the new jerry cans but not the old ex army cans, whilst others fit both and some fit none. I am looking to get a couple of spouts, any suggestions from where?
4, fast flow spouts, is there such a thing?? fed up of the slow glug gug glug
5, 10 litre cans or 5 litre plastics, most garage forecourts have a sticker saying two, 5 litre plastic or one ten litre steel. has anyone every considered that in times of hardship that, that sign might get implimented and you might need a spare ten litre can as a fill up one?
6, is syphoning the perfect way to decant a jerry can into a cars fuel tank???? zero drips and zero mess, just slow thats all, but how large a hose pipe can you comfortably syphon with? i have 10mm and 15mm but find the 15mm to cumbersome and 20mm kinks and does not work.
