SHIT! Still!

1)Measure your can,
2)Look up Mcmaster Carr and order a 10 pack of 3/16" thick o-rings that fit snug around the sealing area for $6
3)Call it a day and enjoy a cold beer

I like the way you think Rob. :)

None. Those lids are freaking tight. Only trip with them was Alto though. Also got to use my Super Siphon on that trip.

I might go the cheaper route and try a new gasket first though. But then again, you can never have too many gas cans. You'll need them for the zombie apocalypse.

Good to know!

BTW, the cans I have use a 2.25" rubber O-ring. Appears to only be about 1/8 in diameter.

I'm down to split to cost on the ones Drew posted if you go that route...

Ok, I'm going to try a gasket first but if it doesn't work I'll get the other style.

Sean, I'd be up to share those too. The only catch is you'd have to cancel your HI trip and wheel to NM/UT for delivery! :)

Well.. found a problem.

My jerry can leaks.. ever so slightly. Its just moist around the neck and you can smell the vapors. But I imagine in the summer heat it will leak worse. Hmmm... Time for a new can.

How long has it been out in this cold? Rubber seals aren't the greatest in cold weather and how cold has it been in the last few days? Just a thought. I would put in the warm garage on its side and see if still leaks.

If you get new ones, can we fill up the old one and stick it on the camp fire next time we go to PINS?

You obviously havn't heard about the little incedent we had with a Dr. Pepper can in the fire at super lift yet

sounds fun

Not so much, can in fire, thought can would fizzle a little, it didn't, it fucking exploded and scattered the fire. Murphy was poking it with like a 5' stick when it blew and reduced said stick to about 1' and turned his face black, and burned numerous holes in the tents and chairs
