    couldnt think of where this thread SHOULD be, but since i have a 2nd gen, i choose here.

    in regards to fuel storage(jerry cans, roto pax etc etc) what do you use?

    i stumbled across these, and they Appear to be non CARB jerry cans...

    I really like them for being totally leak proof and completely free of gas smell inside my cap

    I have had a dribble of fuel coming out of the breather hole when I pour but others are having no issue

    I have had my fair share of those cans but the metal ones are far superior. The vents on those tend to break when the cans are left in the sun. The gasoline vapors expand and the pressure cracks the threaded vent caps, then you cant ever fully seal the can.
