Daystar Spare Tire Fuel/Water Cans

[Wheelingnoob]

That looks very strange hanging off the spare like that. I would stick to the higher capacity NATO cans myself on a can holder made for them and not limiting access to the spare or increasing the rear overhang at all.

Interesting product. I wonder if they will be like most of the CARB compliant plastic cans out there? The last two I have used were ventless, "glugged" and causing me to spill gas allover the place.

Funny how they do that eh? Make a can to be environmentally friendly and they leak fuel every time you need to use them. I have never spilled a drop with my old steel Septer can.

Exactly. My old NATO cans never spill a drop, and never leak no matter how much my elevation or ambient temperature changes. These new CARB-compliant cans are an absolute joke. I can't even fuel up my lawn mower without spilling and/or spraying gas all over the place - never mind actually fueling up a vehicle with the stupid small-diameter unleaded-fuel-only filler necks.

I guess it's just another example of the inevitable fact that everything the government meddles in just turns to $#!+.

Fortunently the non Carb cans are still easy to get here.

I was excited about the fuel cans, but couldn't figure out why nobody had any in stock until I finally came across this:

I don't know the details, but it sounds like yet another U.S. manufacturer was taken down by B.S. and ************ lawyers. What a great time in American history to take down a business that provides jobs and a product that sells.

Well the details are in the link. Blitz have gone down the gurgles and Daystar are fine just not selling the red gasoline ones but still selling the other ones

Been looking around and it seems the fuel cans a no longer available for fear of lawsuits. Is this true?

well... if what's being produced is causing more problems than it's worth ...

 

[406to417]

So any other alternatives out there?
