Is plastic better than metal for long term storage? I am interested in buying some, but I don't know the difference. I saw 10 gallon plastic containers at Farm and Fleet for $34 each. I was tempted to buy one, but they were so heavy. I don't think I could move one filled with gas.
Hey guys, FYI, I was at CTD guns in McKinney TX the other day, and they have "Mini" Steel NATO gas cans that hold 1 gallon each for 10 bucks. They're OD, and I'm thinking of getting a few for the simple reason that they're compact and take up very little space, and I don't feel super safe storing gasoline in large quantity in an apartment storage room. (of course if my apartment is on fire, the neighborhood will have to be evacuated because of ammo cooking off anyway lol) NOT on the website currently, I just saw them in the retail store the other day, but they'll do phone orders from their catalog desk if you need it. They were 10 Bucks.
Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.
Damn, why cant there be a CTD store near me? I would pick up a few of there, but once again, shipping kills it for me.
If not exposed to sunlight, then yes. Those metal ones can rust after a few years. The 5 gallon ones are the best ones to get IMHO, and Im sure you could handle them!
Hit up one of the Army-Navy Stores by Camp Shelby and found this...
It's a 1971 Bunderswehr version of a water jerry can. Not sure how strong that handle is, or if it's a great at water storage, but for $12 I figured it was worth a chance.
Sadly, none of the ultra cool US plastic jerry cans.

^^ I like that. Just like their cars and guns, leave it to the Germans to come up with a freaking water/ gas can that I like.

I bet it as good as any others of that type. From my expereince with german gear, tools, etc they don't make very much junk.
Good news: I filled it with water and she doesn't leak
Bad news: I rubbed a paper towel on the inside and came out with smears of black greasy gunk of an unknown nature. :/ Gonna have to figure out how to clean this up otherwise it will be relegated to non-potable water storage. That isn't all bad but obviously not what I had intended.
