Looking for a couple of these. I found the SlimLine offering, but I recall another one that was a bit different.

What I'm asking about here is the metal screw-on replacement caps for a standard gallon jug of fuel. I'll be using an MK pump with self-contained battery power.

Looking to buy at retail, I'm not trolling here for a brother-in-law deal; just asking what direction to look in.

I just use a plastic screw cap and drill it to fit a " DuBro " kwik fill cap fitting. DuBro # 807. ENJOY !!! RED

Got that, Red. I want something that seals a bit better, to keep moisture out of the fuel.

Lots of humidity down here.

I'm not aware of anyone else making a metal unit.

I have the manual version. I understand you looked at the slimline but thought I would post it for others. I've had mine for several years and really like it. I used the Dubro filin station for a while but got tired of the plastic parts breaking. This one is all aluminum and will most likely out live me.

Plastic cap will be just fine....it comes with a plastic cap.

There are some metal cans and caps still out there only the metal cap is in disquise. These cans are common with some solvents. The cap is conventional metal design but with an outer plastic 'safety cap' that is plastic. The metal portion of these caps has serration at the top that is designed for the plastic portion to grab onto.

The close up photo shows this type of metal cap with the plastic outer portion cut off and you can see the serrations These cap seal just as well and reliably as the old metal caps that served us for years. These caps after the plastic is removed are very easy to poke a hole through and solder two brass fuel tank tubes.

There is one type of metal can however that is out there and used for Powermaster fuel for instance that is a good idea to avoid for repetitive use that we are talking about and that is not because of the cap that is metal with the plastic 'safety' but because this type uses molded plastic Threads that is swedged into the can and this is not a good idea for a container that is intended for repetitive use over years.

Here are my 'Cans' some have been in reliable use for many years and some are fairly recent with the plastic 'safety' removed and the tubes soldered, both in gallon sizes and quarts.
