windlestone Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 anyone got any suggestions where i might get a decent petrol can from. the plastic green and red ones are hopeless. keep leaking and the spout is never at the right angle especially in the middle of a trial when it's raining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordi Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 Get yourself a metal Jerry Can. Halfords do them or try any decent motor factors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliechitlins Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 Metal doesn't breathe like plastic. Gas stays fresh longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordi Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Blimey! If you need to keep your petrol fresh, then your not riding often enough. One other point is that a lot of european trials now, insist on metal cans for insurance/enviromental purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkp Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Metal cans are fine, just don't leave them sitting on bare concrete in an area that has temperature changes - moisture will condense on the inside of the can. Keep them in an area that has a fairly constant temperature and store them on some wood blocks; up off the concrete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
