Best Jerry Cans?

[PH4]

Anyone have a reccomendation for a jerry can and jerry can holder? Will be mounted in bed of 109 regular. Many different ones out there but want the best. For petrol.

Wedco Cans. Never had a single problem with them.

Pretty hard to beat the NATO cans. Tough, proven and cheap to buy. Usually under $15.00.

Where do you find NATO cans for under $15? Thanks for your help.

As for a mount, I made my own. Not sure what others do.

NCROVER, what type of front seats are those in your Series?

[Daurie]

I bought Scepter cans. 3 fuel and one water. I love em. As far as mounting goes I have a Brownchurch rack with a place for four. Now that I have my soft top on I'm looking for other options.

D90 seats. Here's a few pics:

I've got a bunch of Scepter cans and the NATO/German style metal cans. They both have their advantages and disadvantages. For the German style metal cans you don't need a donkey dick which is handy- you can pour directly from the can's spout into the gas fill on the series. The Scepter cans require a separate spout (donkey dick), however they can be used with various US Army screw in adapters which can be handy- and they don't dent or rust and are more pleasant to handle in cold weather.

The old metal US WWII to 1990's cans are lousy as compared to those above- unless that is all you can get.

There are tons of sources for surplus cans online however if you live in a CARB state you are screwed and can only be sold CARB compliant cans which all suck ... YMMV


Coleman's Surplus is a good source forhttp://cgi.ebay.com/GERRY-CAN-NATO-2...QQcmdZViewItem the cans:

Today's useless bit of trivia.
Th e Germans produced the original design for the standard nato or Jerry can. The British, who had been using a rather useless design called a 4 gallon flimsy, rather liked the ones they captured. We went on to copy the design and actually produced more during WWII than the Germans.

Now back to your regulart reporting.

2 questions:

What's the engine/gearbox/transfercase?

Do you ever wade this thing? It wouldn't take much of a water crossing to put those doors speakers underwater.

Oh & there are other jerry cans & holders here"

I ordered two jerry cans off of the sportsman website. Shipped pretty quickly, however they came with a bit of Kerosene still in them. Whats the best way to flush/clean them in order to use gasoline?

As far as the engine, etc...its a 2.5L eurospec w/ LT77 tranny with LT230 transfer case. D90 axles/hubs. 3" lift via Old Man Emu coils.

Have not done any water crossings as of yet. I'm about to redo the doors. the speakers will be relocated. One of the many projects in line to be accomplished by summer.
