Jerry Cans

After starting to haul diesel for the Webastos, I finally got fed up with the EPA-compliant fuel cans found at most outlets these days. I’ve modified a few of those plastic junk can spouts and vents over the years, but decided those were going to be the last. They can sit out back in the shed after the Armageddon Vehicle got an upgrade – real NATO-spec jerry cans.

The hold-down bracket folds up out of the way lashed to the headache rack for hauling dirt and gravel. Padding where it hits the handles puts a little tension down to hold the cans firmly in place. At an average 20MPG, the old Dodge now has around 1,700 miles range with a full load of fuel: 30 gallons in the stock tank under the bed, 40 under the toolbox and another 15 in the cans.
