Anyone know what the deal/issue is with getting a traditional 20L/5 Gal. jerry can in California?

Thanks

probably can't have one in california without a charcoal canister attached to it lol

 

How close to the border are you?
Drive to another state and buy them.
Or you buy 2, have them both shipped to me and then I will pay for shipping and FedEx you yours.

 

Check out this thread from Expedition portal... You can also google CARB compliant fuel cans. http://www.expeditionportal.com/foru...ans+california
EDIT: Try here too http://www.sonoransteel.com/JerryCanPaperV1.2.pdf

 

why would anyone want a carb compliant fuel can? Go to Mexico or AZ and buy a real one.. or, use it as an excuse to go to Vegas. The goal of the oppressive CA government is to make everything twice as difficult to produce at twice the cost and half the durability and efficiency. I hate this state. I would move out if I could, but for some reason my Wife wants to be close to family. I buy everything I can used, on line, or out of state so I contribute as little as I possibly can to this crap hole.

 

I got mine from the local surplus. $25 a can. In good shape and made in 1945!
Here's a pic of them mounted on the roof....

 

Hi steve - thanks for the pic. what kind of mount is that and did you mod it at all to make it work with the rack?

thanks - dave

WOW, those are OLD... that's awesome! I have a few that are pretty old, but nothing like that. Good find!

 

It's a dual can mount w/lock that I fabbed up, when not in use it's almost unnoticeable. Yes, i made the mount system to work specifically with my rack.
Here's a couple more pics with and without the cans.
The paint on the rack is in poor shape, so no comments on the condition of the rack,please. I've already gotten flack from some club members about this already. It's coming off this summer for a little stretching and painting.
