I'm in the US. What type of store is Bunning's? Also, I'd love to visit Australia some day! ...Possibly even live there, as my childhood neighbors, one of whom still lives next to my mother, have a son and daughter who have lived all over Australia, since the early 1980s, and they love the country... Everyone I've known, who has visited anywhere from Sydney, Melbourne or Perth, to Tassie or out in the middle of the bushland, has had nothing but the greatest things to say about Australia! I can't wait to see it in person... my own little "piece of Australia," is our bearded dragon "Punky" (after the American 1980s sitcom "Punky Brewster," as my stepdaughter's married name is 'Brewster,' and our beardie's personality totally fits the character of "Punky" ...this is our 3rd one. The Mrs. had one before we met, so its her 4th).

Great clip mate obviously your not thinking of using garden hose to drink from as this will make water taste weird you need potable water hose to have no taste On the filling side if you fit another of the barbed fittings into the filler cap in the jerry can with the left over hose you have as a bleed of vent tube you can direct the over flow to a prefers location when filling without any mess in the truck This is what I have in my Ute works great So for just a few more bucks it will be more easy to fill the tank Cheers

A good idea that suits your needs perfectly Michael. I had the same annoyance for years with lugging jerrycans in and out (and also those silly little taps at the bottom that break off) so came up with a similar but different method that suits any shape jerrycan with a large screw top. Blanked off the bottom hole, purchased a caravan sink pump for $10 at a camping show, used a hole saw to cut the correct sized hole in the centre of the large cap and screwed up the plastic hex nut on the underside. Went to Bunnings and got 600mm of the appropriate sized clear plastic food grade tube and forced it onto the bottom of the pump and screwed the lid back on. The tube reaches right to the bottom and now I can pump out water as needed and get almost all that is in the jerrycan before having to pull it out and refill. So far the plastic tube has stayed on for around 2 years with no clamp.True I don't have a hose with tap like you but I find this works extremely well and may be of interest to those who watch this video. Keep them coming!

Hey a little tip, and maybe it's OCD on my part since the stuff works so well in general, but if you wind the teflon tape the other way so that it "drags" the exposed tape end instead of "pushing" the exposed end when you screw it together it can help things seal up reliably. As always thanks for the video and wherever you happen to be these days I hope your adventures are going well!

As someone who has handled hazardous/volatile liquids and gases for several years.... that is the only correct way to use that tape. Also make sure you wrap in the opposite direction you'll be screwing in. (little known fact, in USA Nitrogen tank hookups are turned counter-clockwise to tighten since improper installation could ruin millions of dollars worth of laboratory equipment)

Good idea. Allow me to suggest something. After 20 years in the Australian army I have seen my fair share of the inside of these plastic jerries when they get broken. I strongly advise you empty them and allow to dry with the caps off if you're having any length of time between trips. Otherwise you'll get a coating of slime/mould growing on the inside. First time I saw this we got ALL of our jerries and gave them a washout with a chemical (can't recall its name) to sterilise the insides. Also, just prior to reusing them give them a quick rinse. Bugs love to crawl inside.

Build a 10+ gallon ABS rooftop tank you can pressurize...or spend an assload of money and buy one. Either way, a roof-top tank makes more sense to me. Adding pressure + sprayer just adds benefits. Here in the States on BLM land during fire season, we're required to carry water + shovel to put out fires...if my exhaust starts a small burn, easy to put out without pulling out my fire extinguisher. ABS is black, makes warm water...easy shower. Drinking? Not 100%, actually....but from what I've read ABS is OK for potable water. Can still carry a jerry can or 2 to top-off when overland.

A bit of a Warning, this is Non-food grade by adding the hose n fittings. As the water sits in the hose/fittings, If you have to drink out of it, it might make you sick and the longer it sits in there, the more sick you may get, if you have to drink out of it, discard the first couple of seconds of water each use.

Great idea but I would use the food safe white hose instead if your using the water for drinking or cooking. This way the water won’t have that garden house taste👍🏻😉

There's BSPP and BSPT, the parrallel thread usually has an o ring to seal the joint, and the tapered thread requires teflon tape or similar to seal effectively.

I would make a water lock breather that vents to outside the cab. It allows you to fill without spilling any internally, allows water to flow out the tap without having to reach in to undo the cap to let air in, it allows you to back fill and it's a dust proof way of making a breather that allows air in and out but no dust ingress. Putting pressured air in will explode your Jerry. Better off buying a diaphragm pump if you want pressurized water as suggested by others.

this actually gave me a good idea. instead of the hose, just go right for the upgraded spigot end perhaps in my case. most seem to come with not the greatest spigots.

Just another Tip/Hack use potable water fittings other wise you will taint the taste of the water. Using standard hose is ok for washing and other uses but can make the water taste foul. (The hotter the environment he worse it tastes) (And yes I will drink out of a garden hose but the difference is I flush water thru it first where out camping you cant afford to waste water in a lot of locations)

When choosing your hose and fittings, make sure there aren't non-foodgrade plasticizers in there. Also don't fill that can with water from your rainwater tank or garden-hose you can easily get microbes in your watersupply and then you can buy a new setup, because you will never get it clean again.

You can also put a fitting and hose on the lid of the can so when filling it doesn't overflow into your canopy

Hi. A small criticism. I believe you wrapped the ptfe tape in the wrong direction. Best to wrap so that it doesn't want to unravel as you screw it in. Also wondering if the hose is food grade plastic. I think some of them give off chemicals, but not too sure. Hope helps. Enjoyed watching.

Great work. I've only just landed on your channel and am really enjoying it. Just a quick tip. When you were in Bunnings the light a were flashing a lot. Switch your camera to PAL instead of NTSC for indoor shots. They should fix that problem. It has to do with the electricity feeding the lights. I learnt the hard way. LOL
