Default Gas Can recommendations please

Hi

I use one of those brass cap adapter kits from Dubro but the fuel sneaks out and stinks up the car. What's the best method for transporting gasoline without stinking up my wife's minivan? No get her another car jokes please!!!

Seriously, I may just need to remove the pump adapters and carry that stuff around in a plastic bag between sessions and seal the can with a stock cap.

Who makes the best set up?

feel free to email me directly at [email protected]

Default Gas transport

Thanks for the info. Nice set-up.

FWIW, in the meantime I bought a Slimline can that should be tight. We'll see this weekend

Here's a link: http://www.slimlineproducts.com/manual_fuel_systems.htm

$36 with can.

Look at Dave Brown's Pour N Pump.

$20 and then you can buy the gasoline tubing.

I have one for gas and glow, and the system is very tightly closed when not in use.

I don't know if you can ever get rid of 100%, but it is as close as you can get in my opinion.

I use one for glow(Electric) one for smoke(Electric) and one for gas New Style 5 Gallon also (Electric) with an extra hand pump.all are self contained, and carry there own battery packs that can be field charged. Now what can be better than that, as you probably have guessed Dean and I are good friends I hope I'm being objective when I say they are the best way to fuel or defuel( hope that's wright) your models Gas Glow or Jet. If you need a can you can get them from Dean at jerseymodeler.com. Hope this helps
