Transporting fuel

[dab1950]

I have no need to carry gasoline in the car/TV for camping. But I do have a
boat on a slip at the marina. Gasoline prices at the fuel dock in the marina are
outrageous! So, I bought a new style can and nozzle made by a company
called 'No-Spill' > No-Spill 5 Gal Gas Can
This new can is even approved in California.
This can will not address the issues with small gasoline powered tools that
Bill mentioned but it sure made filling my boat tank safer and easier not to
mention cheaper.

Happy boater.

If I am seeing the pictures correctly, that actually looks like a good solution. It looks to me like the nozzle is not cluttered up with cute little levers and sliders. Rather, the gas flow is controlled by pushing the green knob on the top of the outlet assembly. Am I right?

Bill, as a matter of fact, you insert the nozzle into the tank of the device, press
the green button and flow will stop when the level of fuel reaches the nozzle
preventing any overflow.

For the sake of full disclosure and since Larry started this thread on the
subject of 'Transporting fuel', in the USA, the DOT requires a special cap be
used on the 5 gallon can.
See the details of the DOT cap here > Cap

There's also a extension hose for the nozzle to allow pouring gasoline into
a car or truck > extension

Just an FYI

I transported 3 gal of fuel home last night in my new Scepter fuel can. No smell, no leaks at all. This can, so far, is fantastic.

This can allows me to transport fuel inside the TV or trailer. The reason it does not come with a spout is that you can choose several types of spouts. I wanted the 19mm spout:

They didn't have any so I got this one:

I was worried the larger spout would be a problem. The only issue I have is not knowing when the gas tank is actually full. With the 19mm spout, I imagine you would be able to see the tank level inside the generator, and the pour would be slower.

So, Bill is right, the cost in Cdn funds came to just over $100 with taxes. Apparently, these are not sold in the USA. As a result, our local Army surplus shop sells to a lot of people who bring them back for their friends. I'm not sure what the official rules are for bringing them into the USA.
