Gobi gas cans

[Racer-X]

I want to add 1-2 5 gal (or so) cans to my gobi rack. Internet search and a search here pulled up a little but not as much as I had hoped.

What are you guys using? So far I like the ones offered by Gobi but I didn't like their $70 price. Is there a place to get them cheaper?

Is there a better alternative? Something that lays flat below the top rails of a standard Gobi?
Any help would be appreciated.

I can't help, but I can agree with you. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif Unless I'm missing something, and I might be, $70 for a plastic Jerry can seems a little steep. And I was wondering too about "can" (containers) that would fit at the front of the Gobi, stay flat under the toprail, and maybe hold 5 or 10 gallons each - one for water, one for fuel. With them up high like that, you'd have a great gravity system for topping off fuel - and even a nice shower when out camping! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

I'm looking into having some made - and I'll keep you posted if I do!

I don't kow Phil. I ran the truck down to about 2.5 gallons in KS. I was really worried I'd run out and there's NOTHING in KS. Ask Adam about it, I was on the phone with him bitching about it!!!

LMAO!!

Thanks guys. Really just wanted to be sure I didn't miss some cool product out there.

And no, i've never been that far off road either. I have however been driving up I5 when the low full chime went off and 20 miles to the next station. Then when your fuel range message just says 'very low' without a gas station for miles. Thats fun and embarrasing to say I've done that twice now.

Check these out. I have two ($49 ea) and they're definitely Hummer grade. Amazon link. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BG1X4U/qid=1137182178/sr=11-1/ref=sr_11_1/002-0901047-8452064?n=15684181)

GOBI sells the Scepter Military Jerry Cans. I have heard from a few sources that they are the best on the market. Also, they will not scratch up your GOBI rack like a metal Jerry Can.

I've never been so far off-road that I'm worried about gas, and if I did I can't imagine getting somewhere that only 5 gallons will save the day. I really don't like having a potential bomb on my roof either when wheelin'.

However, should I think I'm going to be that far from a gas station, I'd take along four mil surplus jerry cans. You can get bases that they strap to that could no doubt be adapted to a Gobi rack. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

You need to go farther off-road. And since your already sitting on 30 gallons or so, what's another 5 or ten on the roof? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Seriously, I pretty much agree - there are only a few places I would take spare fuel along with me - it's the WATER cans I'm REALLY interested in. I'm mostly out in the desert when I'm off road - and you can never have too much water out there!

So these are the ones we were talking about a few days ago? I could definately see those with rubber matting glued to the side laying flat {or on edge if floor space is important to you) strapped down. Rubber matt preventing scratches to rack and slippage.

A couple of concerns.

1. Venting - I'm guessing they would be OK on a hot day on the roof with no vent?

2. Spillage with them on their sides - the caps would need to be really reliable, especially with the first concern.

hmmmm.

See now Alec, I see Bondages idea. I'm visioning a water can up top fixed with a nozzle from a sun shower. The desert sun warming the water for a evening shower....http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gifhttp://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gifhttp://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

well I wouldn't want the bracket/holder because I wouldn't want the cans upright. But that can is cool because of the places for the straps. One thing for sure, they wouldn't move!

After what happened during an event last year I'll carry spare gas.

I was in the back of a 12-15 truck train. As junior guy on the event team my job was pick-up trail markers set by the leader and to assist any stragglers.

One guy in our group refused to turn on his radio because it interrupted his music. (BTW, the one time I heard his music he was listening to Barry Manilow.)

Anywho, that guy was three or four trucks ahead of me. One truck between us was taking it slow. We and a few trucks fell behind and were trying to catch up. Somewhere in that catch-up process the lead truck called for a head count.

Barry Manilow was MIA. No dust trail, no radio contact, nothing.

So there I was in the middle of no f'n where, enough gas to comfortably get back to town but not enough to go find someone who may very well have missed a trail marker, lead him back to the trail and then home. I had my wife and daughters. What to do?

About the time I figured I'd rather let the coyotes eat him and not my family, he turned up. Had he not, he might have been in big trouble and I would have felt like crap for leaving someone behind.

Spare gas is like life insurance. With any luck I'll not need it and when I do, it'll only be once.

I would not re-enter a trail that used the best part of 32 gallons when all I had was 5-10 gallons as a backup. Especially with my family.

Barry Manilow chose not to be part of gropup by refusing to turn on his radio. Someone should have explained to him that he was on his own from that point on.

Leaving someone at the trail head while you and another vehicle filled up with gas and dropped off your families waould have been a good idea. Don't go back on to trail alone when the darkness of night is the way. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Oh the Joys of livin in Ca!!!! The sceptor cans are illegal to sell to Ca residents. They aren't illegal to own, posses or use. Their just illegal to sell them to us. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif

I just tried to order them from a local guy at $40 ea.Here in Ca gas cans must have an automatic shutoff spout incase the can tips over. Apparently we are too stupid to pick the can up in that event. (No comments from the peanut gallery! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif)

At any rate if anybody else wants a deal on them you can get them here at almost half the price others are offering them.

Look at these cans!!

Planning a road trip? Going off-roading? Maybe you just want to be prepared? The SMA 5 gallon Jerry Can is a must to store water or gasoline while on the go. This can has a latex lining that creates a longer life and prevents corrosion. The SMA Jerry Can's are the best quality can on the market. They have a latching lid closure and spout attachment, which protects the environment from harsh fuel vapors and fuel leakage. This 5 gallon Jerry can is available in Red, Blue, or Yellow. Check out our 2.5 gallon Jerry Can, available separately in Red. (Spout is also sold separately).

OUR PRICE: $49.95

I suppose you would have to add the cost of higher pressure door shocks to be able to open the liftgate with that one. That's a cool idea, but sort of irrelevant when you have a rack.

Those are the exact same cans I bought a couple weeks ago and posted a picture of on page one of this thread.

Last night I finally got around to figuring out the cap and spout mechanism. Impressive. Because of the way they're designed the cap and spout are their own seal-tight levers. And they do seal tightly! I doubt if carrying them on their sides will be a problem. Not sure about shipping costs but the site drmiles linked to is a few dollars cheaper than Amazon.

[Racer-X]

Rodster, did you have to buy your spout separate?

Also, wondering if the spout is Ca legal...does it have an autostop mechanism?

Is that a joke? CA gas cans have to have an auto-stop mechanism??? Does this apply to all gas cans?

[Racer-X]

no,yes,yes..... http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif And I'm not kidding!


The autostop mechanisms differ from can to can but usually include a slide with a flange on the spout. When you insert the nozzle into the cars filler you push down, this slides the collar back opening the spout and releasing the fuel. The idea is if the can tips over - say in your garage - it won't spill.

As for the gas cans, metal cans dent, paint peels and brings the rust. The plastic ones Gobi has may not be cheap, but they are military grade and aside from shooting them with a gun, they are bulletproof to everything else.

the vapors cause expansion from the gas. You'll even see some metal cans do this. You have to have a little room for exspansion. The water cans do not swell, (at least I haven't had that happen yet).
