Default "Jersey" type Fuel Can

Not to take anything away from Michael's can as competition is a good thing in my opinion.....But, after having a long discussion with Mr. Jersey Modeler himself I realized that some thought went into the electrics of his cans. Most notably is the use of an EXPLOSION PROOF switch. Kerosene is not the most volatile substance in the world as its' flash point is rather high compared to other fuel. But hey, given the right conditions with the right vaporization on a hot summer day----BOOM! Also, there is a good reason he uses plastic instead of metal to contain the electrics/batteries. Again, I don't want to take anything away from Mike...I met him at Superman and he is a very personable fellow! But, there is a reason for the high price of a Jersey Modeler fuel can.
