Air Pressurized NATO Jerry Can pump.

[Co-opski]

I did a search here on EXPO and have not seen this posted up yet. Has anyone used one of these? I would think that it could spill easily. Looks to be from Australia so it may not even be in the States and no I'm not affiliated in any way with them. Just looks more technical than the super siphon I use now. :smiley_drive:

Cool--They have ones that'll fit Scepter cans too!

Lot's of good gear in Austrailia, which is great for Austrailians. Not as great for the rest of us.

I've seen other versions for Blitz cans as well. I did not know they were available for NATO cans.

I cannot see the justification of complexity. The super siphon is just such a great tool from my experience.

Where do you currently store your fuel cans?

It would certainly simplify matters if you couldn't get the can higher than the vehicle tank.
And it seems pretty simple just an air line in and a pick-up tube out. It wouldn't be rocket science to build one.

I agree, the super siphon is is convenient, easily packable, light and works great. But that air pressurized thingy is just plan cool....... plus, cool gadgetry might make me look like I know what I'm doing out on the trail... At least to those not in the "know" LOL

How about something like this for a simple running water setup? I usually just put them on the roof rack and use a super syphon with a little ball vavle. Works pretty good but this could be a little step up in coolness.

That's exactly what I was thinking--Easily pressurized water for hot showers, etc. using my Scepter water cans.

Then I remembered that the Scepter fuel can has a different size lid than the water cans...

That could be cool.

I suppose my main concern is over pressurizing, leaks, safe relief of pressure, etc.

Looks cool, but as said before complex.
I've used something somewhat similar, it has a pump instead of the need for compressed air.

Think it's a NATO item.
I've used it on my boat and to run generators.
But it doesn't flow as much as the pressurized thing or the supersiphon.
If I was gonna build a transfer system for water for showers and stuff I would just use a washer pump from any old car.

In the bed of the truck and I use the win-door of the shell to access the cans with the Super Siphon. It just looked cool for the on-board air capabilities.

Funny everyone was thinking of shower systems. That is how I found the company. The cabin I live in is dry and off the grid and I use a Blue 55gal poly drum with a Shurflow water pump hooked to a car battery for the pressure shower system. Seriously I'm not that much of a dirty hippie. I'm tired of the battery and was thinking of an air system for the home shower. I'm glad the coldest part of the winter is over there was a week it was iced up solid.

Used for showers, etc...It's really not that complicated...It uses a schrader valve for the air inlet, the same as tires. Add one hand or foot pump for a bicycle tire and your shower could be pressurized well beyond what a windshield washer pump could ever provide on its best day.

I agree about it being unnecessarily complex for getting fuel from a jerry can into a vehicle fuel tank unless extenuating circumstances exist. Who's got the time to hook up everything just to get 5 gallons of fuel from a very portable jerry can into a truck's tank.

I like that style with the primer hand pump like ones used on boats.

BTW welcome to ExPo!

A simple $12 pressure regulator from Harbor freight would do the job.

I wonder how much pressure a gas can generates just sitting in the sun? They hiss pretty loud when you open them.
