Cliff, your right on with Wavian, but the fuel stabilizer you may want to consider is "PRI-G " If you use twice the recommended mixture @ the time of filling. The fuel can be used up to four years later. I've personally proved this on my own vehicle. Just make sure your personal vehicle has at least 1/2 tank of full on new fuel. Use the preserved fuel to a maximum of 50% new-vs-preserved fuel ratio. I've used this ratio for the past five years. Without any performance degradation in engine performance. Be sure not to fill the Wavian NATO cans more than 90% To allow for expansion in hot weather. 90F plus. Cheers, Mate.

I really don't see the point with this fuel stabilizer. I've got a car that is just sitting around quite regularly for about a year over the last decades and I never had a problem with the fuel over time. With the pandemic it sat in storage this time now for pretty much 2.5 years with a full tank -- and no problem at all after that. Started again without trouble and runs flawlessly. No problem at all as expected. I personally think for all practical purposes (not storing the fuel for 10 years or so) those fuel stabilizers are just snake oil. If there is no noticeable deterioration of fuel after 2.5 years I would not expect it to be totally useless suddenly after 4 years. So no need for snake oil. BTW: Engine is a vintage LS5 454 with high compression. But >2 years old fuel is absolutely no problem at all. I'm pretty sure you would not see that big a difference between 4 year old fuel with and without snake oil.

I've been using it on my weekly fuel trips to the Costco in the next county over. I save $0.20 to $0.50 a gallon doing this. I fill up my main vehicle and all the gas cans. When I get home I empty my 5 gallon cans into the other family vehicles. Doing this I make less trips and I'm saving around $2.75 per five gallon gas can on every trip.

P.S. if you are going to get the Jerry cans for your generator. You need to sit down and calculate how long do you want to run the generator for? That will tell you how many Jerry cans you will need. My 6500 watt generator takes 7 gallons of gas and it will run 11 hours on one full tanks. So if would have it running one whole day, I will need 14 gallons. Now multiply that with how many days you want to have power. Then divide that by 5 and it will tell you how many you will need. Me? I’ve been doing this for years. I have over 30 cans. But you need to remember one important thing. Generators are loud and every one will know you have a generator. Remember that if SHTF. Stay safe Update: I have solar now. The gas I have will only be used to charge the batteries when there’s no sun, about 4-6 hour to fully charge.

Be careful storing in garage if you have a pilot light on a water boiler for example. Ensure all pilot lights are not on ground level. Gas vapors are heavier than air and will travel along the floor of the garage and can ignite a pilot light in an enclosed space like a garage.

Honestly if you have more than 4 or 5 gallons of any fuel, you should try to store them someplace that isn't in or connected to your home/dwelling. I live in an apt. but I'm getting a storage unit asap for multiple reasons. I will have good alarms and locks on the unit and try to keep the monetary value of stuff I there down because of thieves, but it's just one of those things where the more fuel you have stored when you live, the greater your chances of losing everything in a fire are.

Great video! I bought 2 of the Wavian cans last year. Unfortunately, one had a leaky weld seam on the bottom (I found this out driving home from the gas station!) The company refunded my money for the can. I was able to repair the weld seam, so now the can is usable. I'm not a big fan of the spring-loaded Safety Nozzle. When the can is full, the fuel comes rushing sideways out of the nozzle, which can be messy, depending on what you're refueling. I need to get one of those goose-neck nozzles like you showed in the video. I also have 3 of the 5-gallon Justrite type II safety cans. These are great also, and easier to control the flow. More costly, though, and not as space-saving.

Great video! How is it that The Urban Prepper got me excited about gas cans! I have a couple Wavian cans and they are definitely worth the investment! As a cheaper (albeit not EPA certified) option, you can also look into the VP racing cans. Made in the USA, they are much thicker and better quality vs traditional cheap plastic cans and they pour at a very fast rate- which could be critical in an emergency when you’re just trying to get the heck-out-a-dodge! With that said, technically VP racing cans are intended for racing fuel only and not highway use.

There's nothing better than the NATO jerrycan. It's such an insanely good gas can that, with the exception of the spout attachment, the design remains the same almost 100 years later. They were invented by the German Army (hence, Jerry can) before the beginning of WWII and were considered the main reason why the German army was able to Blitz through Europe. It was designed to take an insane beating and never break, never rust, with a plastic lining so it's water-safe and even if full of water or gas, it'll still float thanks to its top bubble. With 3 handles it allowed 2 people to carry one can or 1 person to carry up to 4 cans. And it has a breathing tube so it has a smooth gas flow. The design also allows for perfect stacking, and it was incredibly easy and cheap to manufacture.

Anybody have experience ordering those flexible spouts? Seems there's a few different designs floating out there and I don't see them offered on Wavian's website, would hate to wind up with a cheap knock-off product from Amazon.

Thinking about storing some diesel. But eventually would like to start making and storing biodiesel. Does the same stabilizer work as with fossil diesel?

If storing gas for a generator, do you add "Heet" at time of purchase or later, at time of use?

Does anyone know if this would be good storing in a skybox or trunk during roadtrips? Will it make the trunk smell like gas if stored in there?

Can you store it on its side with gas in it?
@chrismullin83042 жыл бұрын
Yes. Although, for long term (over a year) I would message the Wavian company. I emailed them a little while ago and they responded quickly.

Yep! That's how the military transports then. I still keep mine vertical though, just in case.

Could theses cans be placed lying down on a roof rack. I have a prinsu rack on my Outback.

Bummer the good nozzle no longer seems to be on their site.

This is why you only buy cans designed for storing and pouring water not gas
