    Jerry can repairs

    http://www.popularmechanics.com/scie...s/tips/4327161 This link was in the same thread. I like the idea of the long piano hinge. More stability I would think. But with the side cut like that it may be harder to weather proof and lock. Any ideas about a lockable closing clasp and the best way to...

    Jerry can repairs

    I've seen metal cans go for anywhere from $20 for a used kinda banged up one to upwards of $50 for the cleaner newer ones. I've seen the plastic ones go for as much as $60 to $80 on eBay. A good average should be $25-$30 for metal and $30+ for plastic. If your buying used cans that would be a...

    Jerry can repairs

    My experience is. Plastic cans are hard to find and even harder to find in good condition with all there parts, caps and such. Not to mention that I don't think the plastic cans are rated for fuel. When I was in the Army we used metal for fuel and plastic for water. Now there are Vietnam era...

    Great idea if I had several cans to reseal. That stuff looks like it would do the trick but I could almost buy two new cans for what they want for a quart of there tank sealer. Have you used it? I wonder if it wouldn't be a bad idea to seal the tank on the deuce with it. My trucks tank doesn't...

    Jerry can repairs

    Hey Fellas, I had a few questions about what options I have to fix a bad bottom seal on a metal Jerry can. The can is otherwise in good condition. When I bought it the can did hold fuel without leaks. I thought it would be a good idea to clean out all the old diesel varnish and crud from the...
