I carry 6 Specter cans on my overlanding trailer. I ordered a replacement cap for the Specter can and made my pump from that. Then I just switch it from can to can.

Take a shot every time he says “go ahead.”

just getting started with living on the road and this is a genius hack thank you so much. subscribed!

i was looking for vids, reviews, hacks; i was reading and browsing around for an affordable, diy budget build water system using a jerrycan ( with a sawyer filter instead of the lifesaver jerrycan that costs $$$). i was just stuck for any new ideas and then i came across your vid and it helped SO MUCH. i like that you've included the "learn as you go" part. 👍 great vid! and thanks for sharing 👏

Great DIY! Thanks for the video.

Fantastic. Buying all the parts now.

Great job!…well presented too…many thanks…Brian

doing some think like this in my van, cheers for this vid, help me out, 100%

Shweeet! I will see if I can bang this out before Friday! Great video man!

Hey @Bound 4 Freedom! Was wondering how you handle the dripping water from the spout? Love the idea!!

If you buy a cap with a tap in it and put it on its side there's no need to pump which is often times a more convenient option.

That faucet looks pretty leaky after you are done pumping, whats the follow-up on that?

Great video and love the cost factor! Thank you so much for sharing :) Question: Your light blue jerry can for fuel has a smaller opening for spout. Is it the same diameter as the water pump you used? If yes, then drilling with step bit wouldn’t be necessary on this build. Please, please, please let me know the diameter of the fuel can and if the opening is same size or different. Would greatly appreciate this information. Of Noting: the Scepter Water Can cap (larger than fuel can caps) has a slight curvature. When you use the step bit, make sure you are perpendicular to that curve (that’s why your o-ring was pinching asymmetrically). FYI: Scepter caps/lids can be purchased separately (in case of errors or loss), and the main tether could be tossed (easier to fill). Thought: Could also probably make a cap for a pressurized shower and switch them out as needed... :)

Have you tried connecting a life straw to the half inch hose to create a budget lifesaver Jerry can?

What are the advantages of hand pump over gravity feed water from a jerry can?

Doesn't look like this pump faucet is available from Amazon anymore. It looks like it can break off... that would mean the customized/cut lid for can will need to be replaced.

Save yourself time and $ by using some heavy monofilament fishing line to hold the dust cap on. Drill hole, push mono through and tie a chunky knot, tie other end of mono to the can and with rest of the mono - go fishing.

USE THE VISE TO SQUEEZE THE ALUMINUM CLAMP ON THE AIRCRAFT CABLE, RATHER THAT BANG ON IT WITH A PUUNY PUNCH,,,,

Note: I've tried these exact same pumps and they work great - for about two outings. Then the cheap Chinese plastic parts just fall apart. So if you want something that lasts, get a name brand hand pump from a company like SurFlo or Whale

Next time use a 11/4 hole saw from the inside and mark the damn hole where you want it to be with a black marker !!

What on earth is a faucet?

Why don't you just remove the retainer from the cap so you can remove it to refill?

A portable shower would be more exciting.
