. Cannot say I've seen one 1st gen out today while in kcmo

 

and at the very last minute headed out of town i finally spotted one in north KC, right past that Missouri river bridge

i do not recommend this type of spare fuel container, its sucky

 

These are the only fuel canisters worth buying

that one in my truck cost nowhere near $80 hahah

how does yours pour? do you need 2 people to tip a full(ish) container whilst holding the stupid safety mechanism to funnel out

 

I typically use a siphon

Or i use these nozzles, which aren’t the stupid CARB ones

Those siphons looks pretty slick. I’ll have to look into that

 

It makes it way easier. I just set the can on the edge of the bed or wheel well, give it a few jiggles and let it go. Only takes a minute or 2 for 5 gallons of fuel. There’s usually not much left in the bottom of the can either

 

@GQ7227 have you driven the pony express trail?

maybe parts of it in south central NE, but it goes all the way to SanFrancisco, that's a lot of miles!

Historic cross country route seems like the perfect way to rack up some miles on a classic taco!

 

not during the winter through WY and UT

 

gotta get these wheel arch moldings off
