I use two of them, and I rotate them once in a while. The gas we are able to buy here in Germany has summer-and winter additives. I make sure that summer and winter fuel is consumed during each season. To avoid corrosion in the can, I use gas with minimum bio ingredients. Greetings from Duesseldorf.

Jerry cans need a lift handle on the rear or bottom surface to aid in lifting and titling 35 pounds above waist height. Pouring 5 gallons of fuel into a 1940s jeep or combat tank both of which had a 2-inch diameter fill port was easy. Using the 1940s design to fill a 7/8-inch diameter unleaded fuel port positioned above waist high is a much more difficult challenge.

Be careful storing in garage if you have a pilot light on a water boiler for example. Ensure all pilot lights are not on ground level. Gas vapors are heavier than air and will travel along the floor of the garage and can ignite a pilot light in an enclosed space like a garage.

@EllyTaliesinBingle 2 жыл бұрын

Honestly if you have more than 4 or 5 gallons of any fuel, you should try to store them someplace that isn't in or connected to your home/dwelling. I live in an apt. but I'm getting a storage unit asap for multiple reasons. I will have good alarms and locks on the unit and try to keep the monetary value of stuff I there down because of thieves, but it's just one of those things where the more fuel you have stored when you live, the greater your chances of losing everything in a fire are.

For any Australians looking for these, have a look at local brand Proquip. I believe their metal jerry cans are the exact same can but without the crazy mark up for the Wavian brand we see in Aust. Both the Waivan and Proquip are made in Latvia, look identical, have the same certifications (plus AS cert) and I'd bet are made in the same factory.

Both types are built like tanks, but the Wavian seems to be the better choice for both mobility and storage. The Justrite can seems like it might be slightly more convenient for actual frequent use.

@aspensulphate 8 ай бұрын

Great video! I bought 2 of the Wavian cans last year. Unfortunately, one had a leaky weld seam on the bottom (I found this out driving home from the gas station!) The company refunded my money for the can. I was able to repair the weld seam, so now the can is usable. I'm not a big fan of the spring-loaded Safety Nozzle. When the can is full, the fuel comes rushing sideways out of the nozzle, which can be messy, depending on what you're refueling. I need to get one of those goose-neck nozzles like you showed in the video. I also have 3 of the 5-gallon Justrite type II safety cans. These are great also, and easier to control the flow. More costly, though, and not as space-saving.

P.S. if you are going to get the Jerry cans for your generator. You need to sit down and calculate how long do you want to run the generator for? That will tell you how many Jerry cans you will need. My 6500 watt generator takes 7 gallons of gas and it will run 11 hours on one full tanks. So if would have it running one whole day, I will need 14 gallons. Now multiply that with how many days you want to have power. Then divide that by 5 and it will tell you how many you will need. Me? I’ve been doing this for years. I have over 30 cans. But you need to remember one important thing. Generators are loud and every one will know you have a generator. Remember that if SHTF. Stay safe Update: I have solar now. The gas I have will only be used to charge the batteries when there’s no sun, about 4-6 hour to fully charge.

@jackwalsh1468 2 жыл бұрын

Cliff, your right on with Wavian, but the fuel stabilizer you may want to consider is "PRI-G " If you use twice the recommended mixture @ the time of filling. The fuel can be used up to four years later. I've personally proved this on my own vehicle. Just make sure your personal vehicle has at least 1/2 tank of full on new fuel. Use the preserved fuel to a maximum of 50% new-vs-preserved fuel ratio. I've used this ratio for the past five years. Without any performance degradation in engine performance. Be sure not to fill the Wavian NATO cans more than 90% To allow for expansion in hot weather. 90F plus. Cheers, Mate.

@thisiswaytoocomplicated 2 жыл бұрын

I really don't see the point with this fuel stabilizer. I've got a car that is just sitting around quite regularly for about a year over the last decades and I never had a problem with the fuel over time. With the pandemic it sat in storage this time now for pretty much 2.5 years with a full tank -- and no problem at all after that. Started again without trouble and runs flawlessly. No problem at all as expected. I personally think for all practical purposes (not storing the fuel for 10 years or so) those fuel stabilizers are just snake oil. If there is no noticeable deterioration of fuel after 2.5 years I would not expect it to be totally useless suddenly after 4 years. So no need for snake oil. BTW: Engine is a vintage LS5 454 with high compression. But >2 years old fuel is absolutely no problem at all. I'm pretty sure you would not see that big a difference between 4 year old fuel with and without snake oil.

Great video! How is it that The Urban Prepper got me excited about gas cans! I have a couple Wavian cans and they are definitely worth the investment! As a cheaper (albeit not EPA certified) option, you can also look into the VP racing cans. Made in the USA, they are much thicker and better quality vs traditional cheap plastic cans and they pour at a very fast rate- which could be critical in an emergency when you’re just trying to get the heck-out-a-dodge! With that said, technically VP racing cans are intended for racing fuel only and not highway use.

I've been using it on my weekly fuel trips to the Costco in the next county over. I save $0.20 to $0.50 a gallon doing this. I fill up my main vehicle and all the gas cans. When I get home I empty my 5 gallon cans into the other family vehicles. Doing this I make less trips and I'm saving around $2.75 per five gallon gas can on every trip.

There's nothing better than the NATO jerrycan. It's such an insanely good gas can that, with the exception of the spout attachment, the design remains the same almost 100 years later. They were invented by the German Army (hence, Jerry can) before the beginning of WWII and were considered the main reason why the German army was able to Blitz through Europe. It was designed to take an insane beating and never break, never rust, with a plastic lining so it's water-safe and even if full of water or gas, it'll still float thanks to its top bubble. With 3 handles it allowed 2 people to carry one can or 1 person to carry up to 4 cans. And it has a breathing tube so it has a smooth gas flow. The design also allows for perfect stacking, and it was incredibly easy and cheap to manufacture.

Anybody have experience ordering those flexible spouts? Seems there's a few different designs floating out there and I don't see them offered on Wavian's website, would hate to wind up with a cheap knock-off product from Amazon.

Yes very expensive 45$ were I live. 1 year ago . Sorry to much $ for me . So I just buy the standard gas cans .

I thought I was going overboard buying these. Turns out, the plastic cans make me nervous. I thought about an earthquake causing something to fall on, and crush them. They metal ones are super sturdy. I waited 5 months for delivery, back in 2021.

I too am worried about my plastic cans for long term storage. These ones work much better for me and provide me peace of mind.

I got these too some years ago to carry extra fuel on my overland rig. Good quality overall, but, noticed having it on the vehicle thru the seasons and driving it up and down altitude they swelled and collapsed quite a bit and did NOT return to original shape. It's now really hard to fit in my carrier on the vehicle (which I in all honesty had to modify to fit this since they (Smittybilt) obviously design for Harbor Freight's Jerrycans, which have a dinky screw-on lid.)

The price tag on those make them pretty impractical. If your intent is for regular home use, 1 would be fine, but ultimately unnecessary. The only reason I see for such an expensive gas can is for SHTF bugout, but in that case, 1 can isn't going to cut it. You need as much gas as you can get wherever you can find it. You'd have to buy multiple at that price to get the benefit and true purpose out of such a sturdy can.

Use 100 octane non ethanol race gas for long term storage. Anything with ethanol in it is going to go bad sooner than regular gas. Do not use Aviation Gasoline (AVGAS) unless it's for vehicles designed and built to use leaded gasoline. Ethanol is only good for drinking, cleaning, and sanitizing. Keep it out of your fuel.

Have seen 20$ and 40$ copies. Didn't see any difference than logo pressed in. Used to have same thing from USSR time (they copied all they could) and they break only in 2 places : bottom rusts and rubber seal dries out. Make sure there is no water at the bottom and if paint scratches happen on the bottom then paint bottom and it will last forever

@williamstreet4304 6 ай бұрын

I like these cans for their durability and safety as storage cans. But they still have the ridiculous spill-proof spout that destroys the ability to control fueling. I know - regulations! These regulations have destroyed the useability of fuel storage and use. So, I have to find a way to override the controls. Is it really safer when the spill-proof spout causes me to spill fuel everywhere?

A "Prepper" wanting a fully electric car does not make sense to me. How for will you get when the disaster you prep for shuts the grid down? I am not a prepper, but I am thinking a diesel orv type vehicle makes more sense. I did enjoy you thorough video. Thanks.
