The Midwest, Star, and Wavian cans are versions of the classic German WW2 "Jerry Can". The Wavian seems to be the most accurate reproduction with an additional nozzle being added for convenient pouring. Being standard size and shape, these would fit in metal fuel can holders available from retailers. There are videos and entire books about how revolutionary that design was including the fact that the welds were recessed around the centerline of the two halves to protect them from splitting from impacts. The triple handle allowed easier handoffs for the "bucket brigade" moving of fuel by can, two people to carry one can and share the load, or one person to carry four empty cans easily.

@ProjectFarm Год назад

Thanks for sharing.

@JeepnHeel Год назад

Love the creativity & thought put into making the tests clearly visible on this channel. The jerry can (NATO/Wavian in this test) is designed so it can be stacked & transported on its side (like bricks), making it actually the most tip-resistant of the bunch. That center weld is where most will fail, so definitely avoid any knockoffs that don't have it fully recessed ALL the way around -- best to pay up and stick with Wavian or Geld now that prices are down. One more odds n ends tidbit for boaters -- that hump at the top (where the handle connects) traps just enough air for positive buoyancy, so it floats even when full of water itself.

@ArthurRomeu Год назад

Jerry cans also float when tossed on water because they always have a section with air (the back sits higher up than the mouth) so they serve as emergency floating devices. The first “triangular” design gas can shown was actually being used by nazi germany before they came up with jerry cans.

@darrinrentruc6614 10 месяцев назад

The reason the welds were recessed was to prevent the welds from rubbing against each other during transport of a truckload of cans.

@dnebdal 10 месяцев назад

Another really interesting detail I found digging around in Wavian's FAQ: "Wavian Fuel Cans are made in the very same factory that has been producing Steel Jerry Cans for NATO countries since WWI. Originally located in Germany, the cans' manufacturing facility had to move to Latvia during the second world war. They've been made there ever since." The Midwest is also made in Latvia, looks really similar, and has the same internal coating. I wonder if they're just two quality grades from the same factory?

@dangeary2134 2 года назад

This also works for other cans. I’ve also noticed that if you have a leaky gasket in the spout, keeping the vent closed will stop the leak after a few seconds because the leak will act as the vent. Also, The shop had a bunch of fuel cans that the spouts were missing or broken. I picked up a bunch of replacement spouts at a hardware store, and successfully put most cans back into service. Between the new spouts and the survivors, I played “musical spouts” for a bit, and was able to get all but one oddball can to seal properly. The spouts had those red safety locks, which I promptly removed. Why? The redundant part would reengage at the most inopportune times, which both frustrated, and made for more spills. The spring action was enough to keep spills to near zero.

Have a bunch of the VP cans. They work well and never die. Their tendency to leak from the vent is annoying though. My trick for avoiding that is to start pouring with the vent closed and then loosen it shortly after. That lets some negative pressure build up in the can, which makes air force its way into the vent and keeps fuel from coming out of it even if I have the can upside-down.

@rsbreeze 2 года назад

The LC LC2 can, similar to VP, is less prone to leaking through vent cause it's better positioned on can and handles are better positioned.

@richschmitt4621 Год назад

I have a few No-Spill gas cans, 1-gal and 5-gallon. Their shut-off valves let you control the pouring speed well. I can trickle gas into a small string trimmer or backpack blower tank from a 1-gal. can with zero spills, unlike other "spill-proof" designs I have tried. As said in the video, you would need their add-on extension hose to fill a car's gas tank, because the cap/control-valve spout is short. The pour spout's attached cap keeps it clean until the next use. The plastic No-Spill containers are so air-tight that the sides can bend inwards a little when it gets cold and the can's internal pressure drops. In hot weather, vent internal pressure from the can by pushing the button while the can is still on the ground. That makes sure the can is not pressurized when you pour the fuel. I have had these cans for years - the shut-off valves still work perfectly, and the can's air pressure flexing hasn't affected the heavy plastic's integrity. Air-tight cans mean water won't get in and the gas should stay fresher longer. Seafoam is also used to stabilize the ethanol-free gas.

Something to keep in mind about galvanized coatings, I've read that they break down over time when filled with diesel fuel. Then the coating can redeposit itself inside your engine and cause problems (like with diesel injection pumps). The painted interior of the wavian can (and I assume the harbor freight version too) are designed to withstand all common fuels. Wavian does specifically warn that their coating will break down if filled with water. The harbor freight may as well, I don't know.

@ProjectFarm 2 года назад

@2009dudeman Год назад

That is correct, diesel reacts with the zinc in the coating and WILL damage a diesel fuel system with a hard buildup usually at the injector nozzles. Additionally the reaction can cause a bad reaction with the fuel itself which causes fuel quality issues on top of the zinc reaction.

@marcseclecticstuff9497 2 года назад

The JustRite can would come out in the top of that catagory. All the self-sealing nozzles offered on plastic cans are frustrating to use and make the cans difficult to use in a variety of situations. The JustRite safety cans offer excellent flow control and stop securely leaving just what's left in the nozzle. It's pretty easy to not spill a drop with, big or small tanks. They work so well, I switched exclusively to JustRite cans, gas (red), diesel (yellow), and kerosene (blue). They're pricy, but should last a lifetime and the fact they just work easily and relatively precise makes it worth the investment. I would suggest purchasing the smaller nozzle size (5/8"?). The problem with the 1" is it's so big it makes it hard or impossible to see inside the tank you're filling especially on smaller equipment like trimmers and chainsaws. No affiliation, just a happy user.

@scottremish1456 2 года назад

THAT is an area the Surecan does very well on. Since you can set it down on a higher surface, you can pay attention to the filler neck to see when you are getting close to full, and the trigger mechanism is similar to a gas pump, in which you can lighten up on the flow as you're finishing the fill. I also possess a two gallon Justrite and that mechanism shines in the lighter size. I use my fuel cans almost exclusively for fueling garden tractors and walk-behind mowers. Those two cans have become my go-tos for the oh-so-precious ethanol free gas that I put in the yard equipment.

I own both the Scepter and the VP Racing.

It also has an amazing flow rate.

Common (average) sense didn't prevent the need for flame arrestors because there still was exploding gas cans when they were nearly empty, rotated (to pour), and subsequently filled up with flammable fumes. Sure, common sense would require not having an ignition source nearby when fueling but in the areas where gas cans are used, there's often many ignition sources that were ignored

@@Kriss_L I wish it were as simple; I'm just wanting to top up my weed whacker, lawn mower, and leaf blower every couple of weeks and the 1 gallon can I have (scepter no spill spout) leaks a little gas from the spout for each piece of equipment each time. Same with putting the remainder into my motorcycle, about half a tea spoon of gas dribbles out from the side of the spout each time its used. These gas cans have come up with non-vented methods to prevent gas vapors from polluting, but each time you use it you release more vapor than just leaving it sit with a breather hole open.

I always enjoy watching your videos but this one is my favorite in a while. I really like the how you break down everything performance in different categories to help us make the best decision for our own needs. Great work as always and thanks for still making videos every week. Even though I am sure it has taken a lot of your time over the last few years.

There's a reason everybody copied the original German Jerry can. It was and still it the best design. I have 2 1940s ones that are still going strong. And that's not unusual.

@lukaspundzius9293 2 года назад

Its smart design, very durable , and has features in its design to prevent expanding from heat also , what is also very important to gasoline canisters

What do you mean everyone? Most of the brands here were not that style. Did you even watch the video?

@@mediocreman2 The US have proven time and time again that they would use inferior technology just because. Jerry cans are like the metric system, it's clearly the best and everyone use them as their primary portable fuel containers except the US. I can tell you everyone is laughing at those American cylindrical "safety" cans.

Yeah he did miss testing a Specter Plastic 20L fuel can. In my experience they hold up better to impacts than the steel ones. They only take 40-60 seconds to empty the can.

Great video, I have broken at least five no-spill devices over the years. The best jug to refill Jet skis and other water toys are the VP racing design jugs- flexible spout and will empty quicker than your arms give out!!! I think the vent is the key to be able to pour fast, the large 5 gallon jugs are very difficult to pour into a regular vehicle I have found, bad design as demonstrated. Keep up the great testing! Cheers.

@damnitbadger7119 Год назад

they have electric pumps that screw onto the VP style jugs. don't have to hold the can up at all

@j.b.w. 2 года назад

The harbour freight Midwest can is made in Latvia by Valpro (the V in the middle indicates that). They also made the Wavian can but the Wavian as an internal vent which the original Germany fuel can had as well (it's based on a German military design). Good review, those metal ones with an internal lining tend to last forever.

The laws that required these to be created has caused so much hassle and counterintuitive designs. I’ve had several of these ‘safe’ pour gas cans and they have all failed after a month or two of use. Now my crew and I take the nozzles off and pour into a large funnel. A terrible design flaw is when you have them sitting outside in the sun it creates pressure so when you engage the nozzle at any angle it sprays everywhere!

@neoasura 2 года назад

I still have some from back in the day that I won't toss. And anytime I sell extra's at a yard sale, they go insanely fast, people want the old school ones.

@donames6941 2 года назад

Setting the sun and building pressure is why they should be band they cause more harm then good my old school sets in my truck straped to the side with 5 gal gas in a 6 gal can in it 7 days aweek 52 weeks a year and NEVER had any trouble

@Spike-sk7ql 2 года назад

You know that you can fix those new cans, right? They sell regular nozzles, and vents that you drill, and install into the can all over the place. This is just one more example of "no one can screw up a plan like government". Those new cans are GARBAGE. That's where they all belong. I still have old ones. The metal ones, and a couple plastic ones. I still like the metal ones the best though. I've never thought that completely sealing up a can with gas in it would be a good idea. It doesn't even need to be in sunlight to get all ballooned out. Those things are so freaking ridiculous.

@Quake120 2 года назад

I got gasoline in my eyes thanks to the new designs. I went to put gas into the mower and there was pressure that had built up in the can so the gas went into the mower and then straight into my face. That was highly unpleasant. I'm just glad my mower was cold at the time otherwise it could have started a fire and I would have been severely burned.

@dotarsojat7725 Год назад

I really appreciate my Justrite fuel can. I can leave it in the covered box of my truck, on a hot summer day, and it doesn’t get bloated, nor does it spray fuel upon opening. The valve gives better control as well. Thanks for the great tests.

After all these years, I cannot believe that we just now thought of doing gas cans!!! Great job, Todd!!! This was a great one and really eye opening! If I am buying a gas can to fill up my tank, then the most important aspect to me is how easily it will fill an actual car and how much of the gas can I actually get out of the can without contorting a 20lb+ container of fuel. Your testing literally answered just that!

I use both the Eagle and the No Spill, can confirm it is hard to refuel a car. The No Spill has a hose adapter available, you should get if you want to fuel a car. The Eagle I had to get a big funnel. Both are awesome tanks and I would recommend both. Something to be aware of with metal fuel tanks that have flame arresters. They are very hard to put fuel in. The flame arrestor screen is very short and does not allow the nozzle to fit in the tank well. The deeper plastic screens in the plastic tanks like the No Spill make it a lot easier to fuel them.
