Re: NATO surplus fuel cans

Sorry, I edited my message above to make the steps more clear (and remove some talk fuel cans that Greg already covered better). Their website has a 'session ID' in the URL which wrecks a direct link to the product page.

Another way to the Water Cans is:
- 'Shop Now' link
- 'Tactical Gear'
- 'Tactical'
- 'Water Cans'

Now I know why you guys like these military water cans. They are so much better quality than the blue ones from the boating supply stores.

Re: NATO surplus fuel cans





I wonder if there's a pump type thing that will screw onto the spigot? That would be so cool for the water that doesn't go into the Sportsmobile tank.

I have not been able to find anything that makes a clean connection to the spout on the can lid.

AND I would be very interested if someone can find something. Then maybe a coupling can be made.

Re: NATO surplus fuel cans

OK those brown cans are the same as my green water cans. Being they are stamped with water on them I don't know what fuel would do to them. They are made of a special food grade plastic and might not like fuel. Plus there would be a DOT problem.
As far as delivery, I have a fuel nozzle and cap that uses air to pressurize those jerry cans which pushes the fuel out. Works good and I have a separate system for water that I've yet to use. The problem there is I don't know how clean the air is that runs through the Extreme Air system.
