Spare fuel cans

[Drilldov2.0]

Hey all,

I am looking for some recommendations on spare fuel cans for diesel. Which do you all prefer? I am looking for 5+ gallons and leaning toward a jerry can. I run a 2500 Ram HD diesel. Height is important since I have a diamond back cover on my truck bed. It's important in the environment I work in. Oilfield, outside, mostly in Wyoming and North Dakota. Thanks for your input and experiences.

Hard to find and expensive when you do. Although they are great cans, I have two.

If you want decent cans that aren't the price of spectres get the NATO surplus ones. The Chinese copies are not nearly as good, the lining comes off and the seam is not recessed, they are a pale green vs forest green, the swedish ones have a tag system for identifying contents. A load bar fits inside the handle so you can secure one or a whole row of them

The red metal can from harbor freight is superior to the Chinese NATO copies but again the lining comes off.

Every single Jerry can I've come across is rusty inside.

That being said why not have a small transfer tank toolbox combo? Filling with a 5 gallon sucks and keeping spare fluids in the cab is messy. Also anti gel or winterizing agent smells terrible.

BIL tows his gooseneck trailer often with his F350. He went the bed mounted external tank route for increased range. External tank automatically refills the internal tank. The trick there is compatibility with your diamond back bed cover.

They are expensive but I wouldn't trade my good NATO / wavian / valpro etc. style cans. I have several 20L (the normal size), but honestly really like the 10L and 5L cans and they're shorter so they may be an option for you if the normal size is too tall or doesn't fit. I waited for a sale and bought several at once for myself and a family member or two. Guessing I paid maybe $40 per can including shipping - less for the smaller ones. Side note but I've had non-eth gas sit in those cans for years and still work wonderful in small engines, etc. Just be careful when you pop that airtight seal to open one as they'll splash easy if you're not paying attention.

Sceptres are great too.

Check these guys out, when researching a while back they were recommended. Not sure if price/availability is still as good today.

And no, I don’t have any model of Rover

LOL that was probably me. Yes, these guys are great. BTW, roverparts.com = Atlantic British. Sometimes they sell as AB on amazon, but I've found better prices by talking to them direct. I'm extremely happy with the products and the service I've received from them, over several different years/orders.

Wow, you all are awesome! I am going to check measurements, I may have a friend in Canada who can get new scepter 20ls. I have thought about a transfer tank, Mr. Wolf. plumbed into main with a switch in the cab so I can use red But, I have a quad cab and 6.4 bed. So I would like the extra space and fuel cans can be moved around, also I have a DB cover over my bed.
