Wranglerstar, we don't always agree, but I totally agree about our U.S. "safety" spouts. I also have spilled more fuel with them than with the older spouts. I have also had more leakage with them. Great video, too.

$75 for 1.5 gal jug. Thanks for the review, but I'll pass for now.

I converted 8 so called safety cans to old school spouts with vents in the back. I never spill a drop and they pour as fast and smooth as I want!

meh, forget all the spouts. Just carry a funnel. Problem solved. I quit fighting those spouts years ago.

Looks great, nice set up. here in Japan we don't have those safety spouts, but we can't use plastic for gas cans, they have to be steel. I buy a good quality Jerry can style of can 5 gallons. Cheers from Tokyo!

Old School Jerry cans for me. you can still get them everywhere. I live in Australia, And I have both Ex Australian army cans. And just the other day I found out that 2 of my cans are stamped USSR. Still holding fuel just like a new one.

Just FYI your Rotopax link no longer works.

For long term storage of fuel you really should buy a good quality metal can because the movement of the fuel (insulator) against the can (plastic is an insulator) can actually create static even a spark igniting the whole can. This is a low risk but worth looking into because it causes a few fires a year where I live here in Australia

That's really a perfect fit behind the box!

In Ireland nearly everything apart form chainsaws are deasil, i enjoy this channel it gives me insight in how Americans work and proves to me that no matter where you are in the world if you work hard you will succeed

Speaking of holes remember, "If you rip a hole in a net, there are now fewer holes in that net."

Have the RotopaX RX-2W Water Pack 2 gallon capacity ones in the car and LOVE them! I lay them on their side and slide under the seats. If the USA wasn't such a litigious society we wouldn't have to live in a nanny state!

Neat mounting system. Still like my old fashioned can that empties quickly, and even quicker since I bored out the vent a little. Van is really becoming outfitted well.

Hey Cody check out a company called EZ-Pour. They make replacement gas can spouts and vents. You can get rid of that government regulated spout and get one that works.

You can get around the safety spout with the " ez pour" you can get a pack of 2 a tractor supply ( think they're on amazon too ), it's essentially the old style spout with an adapter for the odd ball threads on the safety cans

My favorite gas can is the SureCan. Makes it easy to use and never spill any fuel ⛽️

Thanks for a great video and hope you had an awesome trip. What are some of the benefits to living in California, besides the weather ?

My friend is the son of the owner in woodscross Utah great company real great gas cans love the yellow caps without the safety mechanism

Just a note on the first can - what you are calling the bottom is actually the side. They are meant to be twisted connected at the sides and when you hang them, there are two mounts holding the cans on instead of one. They designed it that way thinking one mount might allow for the can to twist. They should have small flats on the bottom and the spout is still in the corner. They are excellent if you have the room to mount two of them connected. The problem is having that amount of room. Also when you orient it so that it’s sitting properly, it gives less chance of falling over because the center of gravity is lower and there is a good handle to hold on to in the center and you can use the twist portion to hold onto. Give it a try in the orientation I’m trying my best to explain and you may like it a little better. I’ve used one on each side of my bike and the thin profile is amazing and it’s only around 40 pounds extra for an extra 4 gallons of gas. ~God Bless

ARe you planning on cooking near these plastic gas containers?

Mount the spigot in reverse position bro. You're using the can upside down. This Will help. Enjoy.

They are great! in Australia I have attached them to the ATV for the station/ranch. Use the 1 1/2 gallon for two stroke mix. And yes I changed the spouts!

You may want to look into a product called tef gel we started using it several years ago. It’s way better than never sees for galling on stainless and the the reaction you get when using stainless bolts on aluminum basically is a thing of the past. We don’t use never sees or anything else now.

.... "you have to be an octopus to use them". Classic WS and sarcasm at its best.

VERY COOL!

Nice stuff.... For a change engineers simplified and did well. Thanks for showing us... Take Care! Be Safe!

For hybrid cars you should carry 1 for Gas n 1 for EleCTriCItY

Felt like you were rushing through the video. I always liked when you used to take your time and ended the video with a good view of the mountains . It brought back a lot of memories of my grandpa he used to be like that. Very educational .

For the non-locking ones, I would thing that a loop handle with a heavy spring that you only have to do a quarter turn to hold and open would be so much easier than a screw.

I bought one back in 2016, a 5 gallon one. I strapped it down on the back seat of my motorcycle and road from Texas to California. No issues, no swelling or spills. Still have it 6 years later. Still no problems. ❤👍

That other can you showed, the one Jack uses for his bike. Those are the best gas cans. Hands down. They are the only safety gas can that I have found that works better then the old-fashioned conventional ones.

thanks

We have the 4 gallon one on our atv and use it all the time. It’s seen so much abuse and still going strong after 4 years and still looks new !

Cody, do you think with heat expansion the can will be difficult to remove from the locking mechanism? Interesting video, thank you!

Roto-Pax have been used on Adventure motorbikes for years. Perfectly engineered. Thanks for the video.

As always, nice review! I've been considering various fuel & water storage options, and honestly, I think the RotopaX seems like a better option than even the Wavian NATO-style steel cans. The RotopaX system has more mounting options, the cans themselves are lighter, and when full are lighter still over the steel 5 (liter/gallon?) cans- and can be a significant bonus depending on the mounting, the strength of the person hefting them, or even a strong individual if said individual is injured or exhausted. Plus, as you showed in one of your videos, the steel cans CAN flake off the inner lining (which can be a real issue), and/or they can rust. Polymer won't do either. Something to consider. Personally, I'm going with RotopaX.

I'd keep an eye on the aluminum tool box stress cracking over time. It might be a good idea to run a support the whole way up the back, but just a thought. Great video!!!

For all of my gas and oil needs.. I use No-Spill (On Amazon). Its the fastest pouring and cleanest no-mess using can on the market. Totally unique and I use them for all my mixed gas/oil, pure gas and bar oil for chainsaws and other outdoor gear. You can even get yourself a length of clear poly tube to fit on the end to fit in awkward places. Check it out! Best ever, hands down! Minus.. they don't mount like these.

Heads up! The 1.75 gallon Rotopax holds a little better than two gallons when mounted at about 45 degrees. I about doubled the range on my DRZ400 for less than a Franklin. It's nice to be able to choose exactly where you want to carry that extra fuel weight too. Wranglerstar got this one right! Excellent product overall, and crash tested!

Every locking spout i own takes about a year until the springs explode and then its just full throttle... lol

I am very impressed with the Wavian Nato steel can. I live in desert southwest where temps reach 120 degrees plus. These cans deform very little and whether stored on side, up right, upside down, whatever. They do not leak even a vapor..! Hopefully, these cans are as good or an improvement. Either way, I love Wranglerstar and precious family. God bless your every day and every day Cody & family.

Tree huggers are so worried about a small amount of fuel vapor but never mind the massive amount of gas going everywhere when you use these cans and spouts.

I love the way this guy thinks. I’m always worried about goin on long trips and not having enough spare gas. Thanks for this video

I agree on that safety can that you said Jack uses. I have that exact can for my mix gas and it I think I like it almost as well as a normal can. My safety spout on my other can went in the trash.

Nothing more fun then putting anti seize on your buddies dirt bike hand grips.

I started out liking it until I seeing where you need to push in on the spout in order for the fuel to flow. I agree with you about how much our gas cans are screwed up now a days.

Cody, the second handle is the one you hold while pouring..not the alignment slot for the stacking of the cans.

I smile every time Cody uses the world "deal". Best word ever.

I have a white and red 1gal on my adv bike. Work great but absolutely recommend replacing the spout with their other style

I like the idea out of sight out of mind, virtually means if some thief was walking past and two vehicles parked near he will leave your van alone and go for the easier target and fuel plus they just look a lot safer design

The double cans put together are 5 gallon options and 8 gallon options @wranglerstar

I watched lots of your stuff for a long time and I enjoy your content very much. But this is a catastrophe waiting to happen. When I was 1 years old my dad stored a can of gas in the trunk of my mother's car and she was rear-ended on a bridge. The back of the car went up in flames spread gas everywhere. We both survived by the grace of God and the professionals that extract us from the car. What you have there on the back of your van is an impact bomb waiting to happen! Please take this to heart.

I know! I hate the government treating us like we are six year olds too. they seem to have loads of time to think up stupid regulations for us, which always seem to be designed to burden and fatigue people unnecessarily. the things they ought to be doing they do not do, and the things they don’t need to do, that they do. 😱🤬😭

cool gas can definitely helpful in a pinch but if your looking for additional gas storage for long range drives why not install a second fuel tank and double the range of your vehicle???

here's a tip for the safety spouts on the new gas cans. i just take a long drill bit thats just a little bit smaller thin the opening of the spout ans just drill it out. works for me like a charm!

Ordering the 1 gallon water jug for my moto camping setup! Great video thanks!

Thanks for the review. I've been considering these for my ATV and truck for a while now.

Now Cody you know you would have loved getting the better European fuel mileage thanks to the adjusted emmisions program they were running. That van is amazing. As always thanks for sharing.

You could explain how a kitchen knife works in a 40 minute video and I would watch the duration. Thanks for your content. We all love you lmao.

You don't like that the one can doesn't have a handle, but have you thought about turning the spout the other way so you can use the handle on the other side?

every safety can I've ever used including the one you show in the video all have the issue that the spout is too short to allow tilting the can up far enough to empty the can out all the way. That's why I just use a cheap hand transfer pump from harbor freight which can empty that can in just a minute or so.

Hey cody, These rotopak i have been running for 5 years now. And i love them they are the most durable and well made gas cans and other containers out there. i run them on my atv.

You should fill one with water, attach it to your tire with a camera above and see how fast it will rotate before blowing out. Show the strength of the cap on them under that amount of pressure.

Storing gas kinda close to your cooking area huh?

Hey Cody....Please tie down that clock attached to your left wrist. It becomes annoying when you keep shaking your arm/wrist as it "time travels" on your arm.

Oh my gosh. I can’t imagine gas cans with safety spouts. Luckily in Australia our gas cans have normal spouts.

I saw those Roto cans must have been five six years ago and really liked the design being stackable on a mount but yeah then I saw the cost and went ouuch, I but if you're limited in space I'd say those are a good way of keeping Fuel and water on a rig

A plastic gas can bolted to the back of the cooker box? Yea - great idea - NOT!!!!

I have a big metal one with an hose attachment and it is all metal and it will last for years

i carry a 1 gallon rotopax on my klx250,because my fuel tank is only 2 gallons...it does not leak at all,and i have it mounted flat on my rack...love them 5 stars...

I've found the Surecan gas can work the best very well built and easy to use and they are safety compliant

That yellow cap! Mine fell in the petrol tank on my motorcycle first time I used it! I unscrewed the top over the already open fuel tank and in it fell, just my luck. I've bought another yellow flexible non safety spout so have a spare. I've tried to shake it out last time I was working on the carbs but it didn't want to come out, I'll try again sometime.

I fully concur! I have a one gallon Rotopax gas can on my Husaberg FE390 dirt bike. It's been over very rough terrain including mountain passes near Silverton, CO with zero issues. We are riding sections of the TransAmerica Trail and my 110 miles range simply won't make it on some of the longer sections. The Rotopax has been the perfect solution. Love your vids in general! -Ray, near Durango, CO.

Ideal for snowmobiling or off roading in general. What a great invention!

I got the regular no safety spouts at Cal Ranch for around $10. I make a few trips to Alaska from Idaho every year so I usually carry an extra 10 to 20 gallons.

Awesome it’s really annoying when I have to carry them using both hands when I’m going to water board someone

The Rotopax system is excellent, but I love my Wavian NATOs too much. Your mounting solution is brilliant! Perfect use of the dead space.

Safety Sam probably wouldn't approve of mounting gas containers so close to where you're cooking.I may be wrong here;But isn't this the same box you have your small grill in?

I have de-federalized all my cans. Put vents in all of them and modified spouts as needed. Works like they should ...and used to before the government got involved.

Really great idea. Thanks do sharing. I am 78 now and lifting more than three gallons is a chore.

“Now one knows it’s there “except the 22k people that has seen the video 😂

Been running Roto pax on my 4runner for a while now. Love them

I carry a 1 gallon on the back of my DRZ400 and never seen it leak a drop. Rotopax is solid

I have Jacks safety can and I love them also.

Nice product Cody. Protip, you can spray paint the perimeter of the gas can black to conceal it further.

Rotopax cans are nice. I was looking into them when I had my ATV. That's a slick spot you have to mount them. The stove inside made me pause for a second, but I'm sure you know what you're doing.

I'm probably in violation of Federal Law but...... One of the handy things I've discovered about that particular kind of "UN-SAFE-T" spout is that if you cut off that plastic "Lock - Unlock" band, you'll be left with a spout that simply allows flow when pushed, and stops flow when released. I've found THIS functionality to be VERY handy filling weed-whackers, lawnmowers, and such.

I created a half- cylinder funnel out of a plastic water/soda bottle to help “pour” fuel from the container into my vehicle. The plastic was pushed thru the safety flap in the vehicle.

Cody, honestly if you simply spray painted the exposed ‘visual’ side of that can, a person would never see that can even if you looked on the backside of that tool box. It would just blend in. Cool product and idea. Very pricey, but then again most ‘quality’ products are rarely cheap. Great video and I’m a subscriber.

Neat and tidy as always. Good tutorial.. You get what you pay for!. Gods speed.

i have had two of those for my bike after five years i still have one or two

$80 for a 3.5 gallon gas can??? Screw that!!!! American made???...No thanks. I'll spend the money on NATO Jerry cans.

I have these, but I replaced the safety spout with a regular one. Works so much better.

So tired last night I skipped your video. Start my day with coffee and Cody...should be a good day. Friend simulator activated lol

I have a larger version of that No-Spill gas can and like using it for my lawn mower. It's easy to use and doesn't leak.

I bought 3 gallon conventional squatty gas can with what purports to be a modern pouring spout... what you do is Slide a bushing down the spout towards the can and that theoretically opens up the spout to pour... I wound up tearing that part off... I went to the hardware store and got the appropriate size crutch tip and that's all I need... The spout it turns out had an Air Relief straw in it so it pours very effectively without any moving parts ... other than taking off the crutch tip

Hi, great Channel. Thanks for the upload. God bless

Very funny about the safety spout on the gas cans you had me laughing. ⛽

For a pack can, I agree I very much like the Roto: For fill and carry however I absolutely love the all steel, "Justrite" type II with the integral, steel pour hose...just like what a can used to be....! Check out the brand if you haven't already and thank you again for your channel. 🙂
