Gas cans
Quote:
If just an airtight gas can would work for you, look at the Scepter MFC military fuel cans. I have personally seen one of these bounce around in the back of a pickup truck (enclosed) with cap for weeks during the heat of summer. Does not leak--at all. Unfortunately, they aren't sold new anymore, because gas cans have to be CARB compliant in some states. Those leak and vent fuel vapor into the atmosphere, of course. Thank you CARB. Used on Ebay run around $50 each. Some consumer cans vented through the spout seal reasonably well. Adam |
Thanks Adam
Adam, thanks for that info. I will check it out.

More details
I added a few more photos to the Picassa web album listed above.
Here are some materials specs: Trolley height 51 1/2 in. Pneumatic tyres Ply backing board 13 ¾ in W x 12 in H (Vans crate of course) Pump Alemite 501A, Filter Alemite FA2. Includes hose Suction hose 29 in, Delivery hose 59 in Suction pipe: 24in x 3 ½ in x ¾ in OD, Nozzle: 3 ½ in x 8 in x ¾ in OD Al bracket: 1 ½ x 1 ¼ x 1/8 x 4 inches angle extrusion Suction hose fitting: 1 ½ in stub off top of pipe supplied, welded to 1 ½ in of ¾ in OD tube Delivery hose fitting: gal steel bush welded to 1 ½ in of ¾ in OD tube Dist between pump outlet and filter inlet: 2 ¾ in Cradle material: 1 ½ x ¼ MS flat bar, 13 ft required, 1 x 1 x 1/8 x 3 inches MS angle Cradle inside dims: 9 ¼ H x 21 W x 14 D. Bent in a 4 in vyce using a close fitting steel tube In Australia the price of the pump and filter varies widely. Caltex Energy was cheapest. The elbow is a hydraulic fitting, and was expensive. In a bigger city I’m sure you could get cheaper alternatives. For the ¾ in OD tube, try to get a handle from an old motor mower. I used a scrap truck fitting, but the walls are pretty thick Shorter generic trolleys are available, but not recommended. You need the pump to be well above the jerry cans because of the stiffness of the hose. Please send a PM if you need more info. Rod |
Inspection...
Dear Mr Ausflyer
This is to inform you that the 'Worldwide Fueling Devices Inspection and Safety' has determined that it is necessary for any individual manufacturing, utilizing, and/or otherwise operating such devices must conform to inspection immediately. Our suggestion is that the individual package and ship (at the manufacturer's expense) such device for shipment to WFDIS world headquarters Texas USA - whereupon inspections and continual usage will determine the efficacy of the product. If upon use of the product it fails to meet WFDIS standards such product must remain in Texas, USA indefinitley. Sincerely yours, Anonymous :rolleyes: |
