Fuel and Water Cans

Pack it up and hit the gas, it's time for the thrill of primitive trails, wilderness camping and weekend escapades. Even if you're sticking to the essentials, you may find that storage space in your rig is tight, especially if you're headed miles from the nearest gas station and mini-mart. Fill the trip with daring exploits and epic stories, instead of the long walk for more gas by taking the right essentials.

Plastic Fuel Cans
A plastic off-road gas can may have several benefits. If you spend most of your weekends in the backcountry, you won't need to worry about exposing plastic to the elements. It won't rust, and unlike metal cans, they will melt if there's a fire rather than exploding. This can be a benefit if they are filled gasoline or kerosene. High-quality Rotopax containers exceed EPA and CARB requirements and may come with a spout kit, self-venting spout and rubber gasket and stopper. Plastic storage cans specifically designed for water should not be used to store flammable liquids or fuel.

Metal Fuel Cans
Metal off-road gas cans may be made of heavy gauge steel and have an automatic shut-off that activates when filling the tank and a spill-proof spout that meets or exceeds EPA and CARB requirements. NATO approved Jerry cans have a standardized footprint and colors. There may also be a locking pin in the cap to eliminate leaks in the event the can tips.

Mounting kits
The Daystar Cam can unit attaches to a rear mounted spare tire on Jeep Wranglers or Toyota trucks. It has options for holding one or two containers and comes in several colors, coded for specific use. Brackets are available for mounting behind the driver's seat, in the side door and on roll bars of particular vehicles.
