Gas cans

[Femmekat]

Where do you folks get the uber cool gas cans I see at the track? The little home depot model I have is kind of a pain in the butt...

[BLACK SQUIRREL]

at the track,

VP or miles or pit possee or motosport.com

Not gas cans but

"fuel jugs"

$34 a pop. But worth it.

You're right.... "fuel jugs" sounds better

Cool...I will have to get one next week. What capacity are they?

[OreoGaborio]

i got 6 gallons in mine for the last 2-day event. lasts both days

[Rambunctous]

I got empty fuel cans which are even cooler. BTW the race fuel stores better in metal rather than plastic containers which for some reason baffles me.

sunlight causes race fuel to break down. the 100% opaque nature of metal containers better protects the fuel inside.

Do the metal cans "slosh " when you pour them? They aren't vented are they? Are they ok in NJ? or can you just paint them red? Doesn't NJ want red fuel cans for some reason?

i ride my bike to the gas station at lunch

Ted has some really nice ones that are made to just tip upside-down and pour. They have automatic shutoff when the fuel level gets up there. And they're approved fuel transport containers, unlike the VP.

From the VP site on their jugs:

NOTE: The VP Motorsport Container is intended only for use as a rapid refueling device for racing vehicles used in professional off road and closed course competition racing events. It is NOT a portable fuel container as described by ASTM, EPA, ARB or other state or federal agencies.
Intended for racing fuel only; not to be used for street legal fuels.

Tuff Jug.

ya that looks cool and everything, but how much does it hold? Would suck to be holding a 6 gallon "jug" over your bike

It's 5 gallons, same as the VP.

[Kitt]

Odd how the VP site would say otherwise.

Oh well.

I always wondered if black clad ninjas would drop out of the ceiling when I cut those off.... So far, I have been sadly dissapointed.

Was just trying to be informative.

Guess around here, one can't be.

Your sarcasm is noted.

Do you even think before you speak?

You have to hold the VP jugs over your bike as well.
They actually hold 6 gallons same as VP jugs, but they
Have an auto shut off feature as well. Plug it in and the valve stops the fill once you're to the top.
Just because it holds 6 gallons does not mean you need to fill it all the way.
If you're too weak Mondo you can put just 4 gallons in and it will still work.

Very Kewl.
Come check mine out at the track Tuesday.

[eboos]

Tuff Jug.

If anyone wants one, I have one that I would sell. I'll bring it with me on Tuesday.
