Harbor Freight/Midwest Can-5 Gal Jerry Can & EZ-Pour Spout-Best Gas Can Combo?

[@kxp.1496]

I bought 8 of these steel gas containers to replace my plastic ones and put of the 8 cans 3 got holes in them in the center of them. I can tell you that they do rust though fairly easily. Now I’m changing them out again to the plastic cans the VP racing fuel jugs.

Not good! Being that I just bought this can, I'm hoping that doesn't happen anytime soon. Time will tell. I thought about VP racing jugs...let me know what you think of them.

I was about to purchase a couple VP jugs before looking into jerrycans. I think I’ll just get the VP’s. There a thicker plastic and easy pour..$70 for 2 with 1 spout in red online Walmart.

Let me know what you think of them. Some have said their plastics aren't what they used to be, brittle. That's the only reason I didn't go with them over the jerry can.

You might consider a small portable battery operated transfer pump, with a control valve on the end of the hose like at the fuel stations.

[@EightWheelsRollin]

That's a great suggestion. I may look into that. Thanks!

Will do. Won't be easy to find these days. I'll do some diggin'...

I have never liked the new gas cans after I'd say the year 2005 they make make a mess and are predictably hard to use when speed is a factor

[@EightWheelsRollin]

I agree 100%.

Might try not leaving you plastic cans out in the sun. These look abused I have the same cans ten years old still look new. Thx for the suggestion

[@EightWheelsRollin]

Hey, thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. The cans were definitely used, but not abused as you suggest. They were stored under a lean-to and in a shop their whole life. Maybe my cans lose their color quicker than yours...??

FYI. Everything from Harbor Freight is made in China.

[@EightWheelsRollin]

A high percentage yes, all no. I've bought several products from HF that are made in USA. As to this can, it is stamped USA. I don't know if that means made in USA or not? Midwest Can Company, the company that makes this can, is USA owned.
