Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

Don't misunderstand, I wouldn't say they were legit unless they were quality. The can is a Valpro, who has been making jerry cans since WWI and is supposed to be the supplier for Wavian.

Just sayin...

 

Welcome to the fray!

 

Welcome aboard!

 

Thanks, Glad to be here!

 

@ResearchMonkee Although, I will concede that the latching spout cover is a bit nicer. The cans are identical otherwise. They are all imported from Latvia.

I may have gone down a rabbit hole about it a couple of weeks ago...

 

@Shellshock @ResearchMonkee Here is a link to the supplier if you're interested:

Yup, those are what I have. I can vouch for them

 

Morning gents.......had to chase down a delivery driver last night....

 

Are his remnants okay?

 

He was polite, so I left him unscathed......

 

I've been eyeballing the HF can since then, trying to convince myself that I don't need the latching spout cover. I hate CARB compliant cans so much, I might buy the Wavian just to get the nicer spout.

 

Both my water and fuel are wavian. I agree with @Shellshock they are quality.
The "other ones" I got for super cheap.

 

Glad to hear he wasn't impolite. What were the circumstances?

I really like the latching spout despite my hatred of CARB cans

 

Also @Juisebocks, I think this is something you'd appreciate. I present "my favorite screwdriver":



It has bevel gears and bearings in it

 

These are pretty neat. Like little petrushka dolls for camping nerds.

Hol up. That's a work of art. Brand? I'm asking for a friend...

 

Yep. CARB sucks

luckily wavian has an easy solution for that

I use this or a safety siphon depending on what I’m doing

 

Is there any reason you prefer that one to the traditional "donkey dong"?

 

No idea. Imported it from England about a decade ago. The only markings are "angle driver for moto". It's a motorcycle carb pilot screw driver; might be able to find it or similar with your researching prowess

I have two of those, they are a must-have. Safety siphon, too

That's probably just as good, but wasn't offered from where I bought my fuel cans

 

That was the least amount of researching I've ever done lol

Now if I could just find a boron-nickel nitride bolt carrier that doesn't cost $300 and is in stock, I'd be happy with my powers of research.
