Default RE: THE FIELD BOX FROM HELL! aka The Ultimate Field box!

I'm just curious if anyone has tried one of these 64oz. juice bottles as a fuel cell?

I happen to be going thru the refrigerator the other day and had on of these clear cranberry juice bottles was was almost empty and thought the lid looked to be about the same as a gallon fuel jug. I rinsed it out, dried it real good with my compressor and it looks like it will fit perfectly in the bottom of them Stanley box from Wal-Mart.

I had a couple of the plastic fuel-line fittings that go into some of the smaller fuel tanks so I just drilled a couple fo holes thru the cap of the jug and then put some GOOP to the fittings top and bottom to seal them. Looks like they are going to work out great for how I am going to run my fuel lines out of the box and without having to cut up the top tray.

Right now I have the jug sitting sealed with some old fuel I had lying around to see if the fuel effects the plastic. If it doesn't eat or soften the jug, then I think this could be a winner as far as a fuel cell goes - and for cheap too.

Here's a couple of the juice jugs. The onewith no label and fuel in it is the one I'm testing




This one shows the plastic fittings that I have GOOPed into the cap of the jug




Just in case someone is looking for an alternative fuel cell,
