Vapor-tight fuel jugs?

Trying to reduce the amount of fuel vapor in the van, I thought it was the bikes, but it's actually the two 5-gallon VP Racing jugs that's putting out the most vapor.

Anything that's better?

 

If they don't vent, they may split.

How about putting them on one of those trailer hitch carriers?

 

If a gas container cannot vent, and it goes from a lower temperature to a higher temperature, there could be serious problems.

 

how old are your jugs (thats what she asked)

 

Man I almost died one time with a half can of MR12 in the van. I thought with the back windows cracked open and both front windows down it would be okay. I pulled over and dumped that shit out on the side of I-90 and never ran the putride shit again. Fuck... you can smell MR12 through a brand new sealed can. I suggest putting your fuel on a hitch carrier outside of the van. Drain the fuel out of the bike as well before you leave the track.

 

I thought venting was made illegal and the can/jug material needed to take up the difference in temperatures, which is why I was surprised that the VP jugs did it. They're less than a year old.

Hitch carrier is fine, I just don't like leaving shit out in the open though that can easily "walk away".

 

It looks like VP is dodging the "portable fuel container" designation by saying it's a "motorsports container". I guess that explains why they are selling it in colors other than red too.

They do pour a lot faster than normal containers though.

keep in mind if youre getting fuel in certain States... the jugs need to be red. CA & NJ come to mind

 

Get the 15 gallon drums. The metal caps seal way better than the 5 gallon plastic spouts.

 

I was at NJMP on Friday and pumped my own fuel into a blue VP jug.

 

Funny thing about 15gal drums...

When I got mine, I was only charged for the fuel within. That was almost twenty years ago. I've given away drums, turned others into garbage cans, used them as "used oil" receptacles and only have two left that I use solely for gas.
I looked into buying a drum but I can't find fuel in that amount anymore...something to do with Homeland Screwing You, according to the fuel refiner. Well, by themselves, those drums are damn near as expensive as if they were full of fuel! WTF?

Anyone got a line on 15gal drums?

 

All I read was "tight jugs".

 

I need to find a better jug than the VP ones. A little venting would be fine, I'll be damed if I can get them to not straight up leak at the cap. The o-ring just doesn't seem to tighten onto the sealing lip worth a damn. I might try the Risk Racing 5gal next, looks like it's easier to pour as well?

OR try local drum supplier or possibly a chemical supplier. Both are normally around major cities/industrial areas.

Also realize right now steel drums are about 2x what they 'normally' go for.

 

Chain through the handles and the carrier then put a lock on it.

 

I burned my morning researching and found these Polisport ones that are supposedly leakproof and meet EU transport regulations, but I didn't actually read up on what EU regulation they met. They don't have the stupid push-to-dispense shit that is EPA mandatory, which is why it seems like they're not sold anywhere except on eBay.

Get a Fantastic Fan or similar and mount it in the rear roof or rear sides/door. My van had a DIY bulkhead that was nowhere near sealed but with the fan I never got a whiff of fuel in the front.
