Not too sure where to post this, so figured this was the best place. Sort of off topic, sort of on.
I have a question regarding diesel fuel cans in the US. Why is it so hard to find AFFORDABLE 2.5 gallon or smaller cans here? I found one yellow 2.5 gallon plastic can for $50. Nothing smaller. Most, however, are in the 5 gallon range and fairly priced, but I don't need a can that big. My 5 gallon kero can was last filled in 2008 and there's still some in there. So endeth the rant.
What do you guys use?
I did, on a whim, check out Sportsman's Guide and they have a 10L metal jerry can in OD, for about $25. So I sprung for it. http://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/ ... ?a=1584047
I built spray painting equipment in the first 23 years of my working life, and had to learn how to use it, so color change isn't a big deal. D I E S E L stenciled in yellow may be enough.

I use an old 20L Wehrmacht jerrycan... It has interesting markings.

Any engine oil can 20l will hold diesel cost zero. Here in uk jerry cans 10l same price as 25l.

There's a thought, thanks. I get Shell Rotella T 15-40W for my CX in 5L jugs.sbrumby wrote:Any engine oil can 20l will hold diesel cost zero. Here in uk jerry cans 10l same price as 25l.
But, too soon old, too late smart. The jerry can arrived yesterday. I'll bring it into work so I can stencil it, then fill it on the way home.
